    If you missed the opportunity to register for Col. Denning please note that we have plenty of pre-printed course maps left for the Sunday event.  If you have never been there it is worth the drive as the woods are incredibly open even during the summer months.  Rob Wilkison has set some fun courses.  As this is presently DVOA's western edge of the club there are not many chances to get out on this map.Laughing

    With limited volunteers we plan to remove controls by 2pm so arrive as early as you can.   All controls except the white course will be in the woods by late Saturday afternoon and we should be ready to go by 9am on Sunday.

    Ha ha, I almost made a weekend of this event by taking so long to try to do the yellow course!  Thanks to Steve Mones who encouraged me not to quit.  Also do  not buy the cheapest (and only) baseplate compass at Dick's.  Also thanks to my son Matt who drove.  The country roads were beautiful esp. at this time of year.  I would go back next year.
