    Many, many, thanks to Steve and Sharon for a great day in the woods with Rogaine 7.  It was great fun and we appreciate all the effort and time you two dedicated to providing this event.  I also want to thank all the helpers, particular the culinary group for food and drink.

    Here is the link to a few snapshots of the Lucky 7 rogaine at French Creek.  Can't wait to hear how the 12-hour folks fared.  Dave and I struggled in only a few seconds late and suffered the penalty.  We made a massive parallel error and, not realizing it, never recovered.  Details on request.  I was not in very good shape to provide computer help, but did my best to help get the 6 hour results for the awards. 
    A fun note -- two scout dads, friends of Tim Walsh, who heard about rogaining from me at the Willows entered and I hear they did great. 
    Thanks to all who made the day possible and the meal by Janet and co.  looked great.

    Thanks much to Steve and Sharon and all the folks behind the scenes that helped pull off this enjoyable event.
    Weather,facilities, and food were great...... and a large course covering 7 maps  was in surprisingly good shape considering recent rains etc. Most maps still real accurate and detailed making finding controls
    straightforward....
    twist at night without reflectors added to controls ..... pressured teams that needed to get those last few controls and get in on time..... on top ....and  hopefully make previous 11hrs of hard working pay off.
    Shame more folks didn't throw their hats in the ring and give it a go.

    Mega dittos...what a great event.  

    The controls were in great spots; a great variety of locations.

    The food was excellent.  Nothing like three hamburgers to finish an evening.

    Kathy that picture of me is truly awful

    Thank you very much Steve and Sharon and Janet and everyone

    A few really bad, blurry photos from my old camera. (And two of our team that I stole from Kathy U.) We had a great time!

    Big thank you to everybody who made this event possible - maps, controls, food, all well done.  Course design at FC in the summer can be tough so it was impressive how this course did a nice job job using the good terrain (including a number of spots that are akward to reach in local events so I had never been to before).  Route choice presented some interesting decisions both as far as overall strategy and more local decisions.  Lots of similing people at the end of the event - very well done!

    I just checked out all three photo albums. Gotta love the Santa in the hawaiian shirt. Also, where was the VW dealership, everyone stopped in for a test drive.

    Great shots guys. Here are Sharon and my contributions. https://www.flickr.com/gp/152564302@N04/t4m70x
