What a GREAT new area to explore !!!!

We had 107 FLO entrants and 69 JROTC cadets. This is wonderful for a new venue but what a great day, weather-wise, it topped out at a cloudy 77', had a slight shower(5 mins.) and a breeze that kept all of the bugs away all day. We were welcomed by Andrew Pitcher from London and Tereza Novotria,(did'nt catch her country) who took her novice party out on a Blue course. I saw lots of smiles from all finishers. I heard of no one that contested the location of any control. I heard of a lost cadet whom was found (heading on the Safety Bearing, near the ranger station) by the time I finished. Toby may have more info. There were an enormous number of gopher trails and cactuses near the Start area which can be very hazardous, Jerry accented this in the number of photos sequenced into his video record. There are a number of trails, interlacing the map which gives a runner countless ways to navigate their course, and very large open areas with vegetation allowing the designer plenty of space for design. I noticed areas of little shade cover, so this is not a great place for an event in the heat.

My thanks to Jonathan for Finish Table, Control Setting and map printing, again. To Kris, Cheryl for Start/Finish and the retreival party of Jack, Kris, Jonathan, Toby and lots of cadets, one pulling one of my last controls having me search and to some others that I did not see but Jerry knows.
