We had several courses designed by Gheorghe Fala around the buildings in Dorothea Dix park. Many people showed up despite the heat and the imminent storms. In the end everyone finished dry (at least from the rain). These events are a bit different from regular ones: there is very little vegetation, most of the navigation…

Lake Crabtree squeezes in a almost 10 miles of serpentine trail in a county park the size of a postage stamp, and all of those trails and trail crossings can get people turned around in a hurry. As a small park, it is a good venue for some shorter beginner and sprint style courses. Four…

The rain held off, and we had a blast.  We used a new format (dubbed a ‘Foxhunt’ by Peter Thelin) in which score-O competitors were required to return to me after each control that they punched.  Meanwhile, I was constantly moving around the perimeter of the park.  It was virtually impossible to plan an overall…

It was very hot. 97! Nevertheless we had a good turnout for this kind of weather. The courses were sufficiently difficult. 30 mins per control wasn’t that unusual. It wasn’t a particular control – almost every control caused delays for some of the runners. Several people went off the map too. Thank you all for…

On a typical late spring day we had a good crowd trying out courses in Umstead State park. The rain held off for most of the day. A lot of people took the advanced courses with mostly great results. It was good to be able to use a remote part of the part. Results are…

Although rain and thunder threatened, this one turned into quite a pleasant meet. A relatively small event, but the people who came enjoyed the beautiful park and Josef’s challenging courses, replete with his signature butterfly loops. On the morning of the event, Josef and I realized that Buckquarter Creek — typically ankle deep — was…

We had good weather for orienteering on Sunday, despite the possible threat of showers. We had several large JROTC groups and I thank their instructors for being willing to start earlier than noon and for their help in making things run smoothly for the cadets. As usual, I designed yellow courses to follow trails, and…
