Friday, Dec. 1 – Waller-Stephenson Mill Park
Scale 1:10,000, Contours 2.5 meters.
This narrow park encompasses wooded
hillsides and valleys alongside I-71, and is easily reached from exit 72 on KY
highway 14. Nearby are the homes of
jockey Steve Cauthen (Triple Crown winner, riding
Affirmed, in 1978) and actor Josh Hutcherson (The
Hunger Games). In addition to woods, the
park also includes an athletic complex owned by the Walton-Verona School
District. The start will be roughly 500
meter walk, with 25 m climb, from the Event Center and Finish. Portable toilets will be available at the
event center. Course Setting by Mike Minium
Notes: Green vegetation is often
somewhat thorny. Minor trails are
somewhat overgrown and covered with dead leaves. A couple of the minor trails have been very
sparingly enhanced with pink flagging tape, where they are used by white
course. There are several large fields
which were mowed a year or two ago, and a number of large round hay bales have
been left scattered throughout the fields.
The hay bales are not mapped.
Toilets: There will be portable
toilets adjacent to parking. There are
also two gas stations (Shell and marathon) and two discount stores (Family
Dollar and Dollar General) immediately outside the park on KY 14.
Saturday, Dec. 2 – YMCA Camp Ernst
Scale: 1:10,000, Contours 5 meters.
This camp combines typical camp
terrain of cabins and other structures and numerous cultural features with
wooded hills and valleys, and a few pasture areas. The camp is bisected by Gunpowder Creek,
which will be a wet-foot crossing for red and blue courses. In the event of heavy rain in the 24 hours
before the event, it may be necessary to shorten red and blue courses. The start will be a 700-800 meter road walk
from the Event Center and Finish. Indoor
toilet facilities will be available near the event center. Course Setting by Ben Hart
Toilets: Indoor toilets are
available.
Sunday, Dec. 3 – A J Jolly Campbell County Park
Scale 1:10,000, Contours 2.5 meters.
This park surrounds the man-made
Campbell County Lake. Wooded hills and
valleys surround the lake and include mountain bike trails, horse trails, and
wooded campsites (closed for season).
The park is also known for its golf course and fishing. A disc golf course meanders through open
areas near the parking areas, but is off limits until after you have completed
your course. The start will be roughly
1000 meter road walk from Parking. The
Event Center and Finish is a 400-500 meter walk in the opposite direction. Portable toilets will be available in the
vicinity of the parking area. Course
Setting by Stephanie Ross and Jim Benton
Toilets: There will be portable
toilets near parking.
