Thanks to Tom Svobodny,
Gabe
Svobodny and Chuck White for helping pick up controls and signs.
Temperatures climbed
to the mid 70's under mostly sunny skies. This is one of OCIN's flatter
maps, with a 3 meter contour interval, and only 6 contours of total relief
(from lowest point to highest point). There is a moderately dense
network of trails and a couple prairie areas. A long, narrow lake
bisects the map, and forced some interesting route choices on orange and
green. Most orienteers managed to find thickets of multiflora rose
and patches of poison ivy.
Bob Frey got the fright
of his life while running across a rough open field, when a large wild
turkey suddenly took off from right at his feet. Several deer were
seen.
If you ran green and
thought it seemed a bit longer than the announced 4.5 km, you were right.
It turned out to be 5.3 km.
