Grafton Lakes State Park September 21, 2008EMPO's National Orienteering Day EventA lovely late summer day encouraged many EMPO members to attend our event at Grafton, and a few newcomers as well, including Boy Scout Troop 502 from Troy who sent out two groups on the Yellow course and one on Orange. Since USOF was unable to supply sponsor goodies for raffle prizes, EMPO donated a compass, which was won by Jessica Tremper who completed the White course with her mom. Course design by EMPO veteran Glen Tryson encouraged a few members of neighboring clubs to visit too (plus the fact that Grafton is our farthest-east mapped park), increasing the typical competition on the Red course. The advanced courses included a variety of challenges including long route-choice legs through the varied terrain, and shorter legs with quick changes of direction. We hope everyone had a good time! Special thanks to Frank Boscoe, Phil Hawkes-Teeter, and Stuart Poole who helped Janet and Glen pick up controls after the event.White 1.57 km, 8 controls |
