Return to the Maze 10/22/16
Since the results were so positive last year we decided to try
it one more time. Prepare to be aMAZEd Saturday October 22nd. There will be two
course options depending on how fast you think you are. Choose wisely, the
penalty for being late is a killer…
We have reserved the group
area for CTOC. Enter at the main gate and tell them you are with CTOC and they
will let you through. You only need to pay at the CTOC registration table in
the group area.
We only have a two hour time block reserved so we will need to
run things on time. It will be a busy Saturday night and the parking lot really
fills up so plan on plenty of time to get parked and into the event. Bringing a
pre-completed CTOC event registration form will really help us speed things up
for you. Also please check the event rates and bring exact change. Note that
this is a special event at a venue with admission charges. This event is not
free to CTOC members but they do get a reduced rate. If you compete as a group
you can save on the map fee but you will still need to pay the entrance fee
individually.
Bring a headlamp or
flashlight, it is dark in the maze. Be careful and watch your footing, there
are corn stalks and corn cobs to stumble on. Since this is a public venue there
will be no vampires, we wouldn’t want CTOC members attacking unsuspecting
bystanders. Don’t forget your watch; this is a score format. If you are
back past the deadline you will lose massive points.

As you read the results, please be advised that Jeff Black is the actual winner of the Advanced competition due to quality points added as a reward for finding the meet director's lost compass.
We were pleased to welcome three foreign students. It was a pleasure to meet Alexis. He's a 17-year-old French student and experienced orienteer studying at Timberline High School this academic year. Anton currently visits us from Moscow (That's Russia, not northern Idaho.). He's studying at Riverstone. We heard Russian as he and Sergey struck up a conversation. Anton tells us that orienteering in Russia sometimes has required him to scare away the wolves. The best we could give him on Sunday was a couple of deer. Samuel Gontharet, Anton's partner on the Intermediate course, is another French student joining us with the Riverstone contingent.
Sergey's winning advanced course appears below for your study and edification.
Please join us for Halloween fun presented by Melanie Schuster and Greg Davidson in the corn maze on Saturday, October 22.
