Meadow Ridge Area, Elk Creek MetroPark
December 1, 2018
Shane Dawalt, Event Director
Thanks
to MetroParks of Butler County for granting us special permission to hold an
orienteering event in this “reserved area” which is not yet open to
the general public. The park is expected
to open for public use later in December.
An
inch of rain saturated the ground overnight, and it continued throughout the
event, heavy at times. Temperatures were
supposed to be in the 50’s but it was 41 when the first starters arrived,
and remained in the low 40’s, with continuous rain throughout the
event. Finally, in late afternoon, after
all had finished, strong winds pushed through a warm front and by midnight the
temperatures had reached a pleasant 55.
The rain (did I mention rain?) was so heavy that two orienteers showed
up, looked at the maps, go back in their car and went home. Attendance was light, but still over 40
adventurers braved the cold and wet.
Shane’s courses were fast, with lots of paved cart paths to run
across the former golf course. But,
taller grasses and weeds growing in the former fairways made it more physical
to run along or across those areas. Muddy
strips where short segments of cart path had been removed made for slippery and
sloppery slogs.
Thanks
to all volunteers who helped with this event especially Greg Fasig,
Ben Hart, Thurston Miller, Mike Minium, Matthew
Robbins, Joe Roman, Stephanie Ross
