Bear Basin East orienteering meet July 9, 2023
It was a beautiful day to
spend wandering around in the woods and those with an early enough start got to
enjoy some of the cool mountain morning before the heat came on. Sergey
topped out those brave enough to attempt the challenging advanced course which
made a tour of every part of the eastern Bear Basin map with varieties of
terrain and lots of route choice options.
Late comer Melanie narrowly beat out John on the intermediate, dashing
his hopes for a victory in their rivalry.
The intermediate runners got to join the advanced runners in experiencing
a rough vague area with a control placed on a dam in a mosquito dense swamp,
yet most were able to make it out of there before being bled dry. The sport course provided a step up from a
beginner course and a couple of groups were up for the challenge, and thanks to
Cliff of Valley County SAR who came out for some navigation training. Included is Sergey’s map with his route for
the advanced course.
Thanks to Andy, Ole, and Sergey for helping with control pick up.
Anyone with pictures from the meet is welcome to post them on the Meet Up Bear Basin event page.
