Perfect day for orienteering. We were really lucky that the rain ended on Saturday. It was the first time we used this start location at Carolina North and it worked out very well – we’ll do it again in the future. The courses weren’t particularly difficult, but overabundance of features on the map made it…

It was a perfect day for orienteering. Nice weather, beautiful open forest.
