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
