US Orienteering Champs - Day 2
Sunday's courses started from the same location at the group camp, but went south and west on the Cat's Agenda map instead. This was a simple one-day A-meet,
and without a "championship" course at stake, I ran up to the Blue course to get more time in the terrain. Charlie had set the courses, and when I turned over
the map at the start, I saw there was a little less penalty for navigation mistakes - not a lot less, but there were certainly more good
catching features.

US Orienteering Champs - Day 1
Last weekend was the 2009 US Orienteering Champs, hosted only a few hours away by our friends in the Badger Club. All the events were held on a relatively

below speaks for itself!
