February Meet at Esther Simplot

Despite the cold and snowy conditions at Esther Simplot Park last Sunday, we were thrilled to see both newcomers and seasoned orienteers join us for our very first meet as meet directors. We couldn't have asked for a better turnout in such wintry conditions. Luckily, the temperatures were just cold enough to keep the snow from turning into slush and rain. 

We received some great feedback on our maps that spanned 3 parks and even a Taco Bell! 

A quick shoutout to all the newcomers who joined us, including Toby, the fastest dog on the beginner course! 

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the winter weather to participate! We appreciate the support and enthusiasm—it made our first hosting experience a great one. Looking forward to seeing you all at the next meet, and we can't wait to host another one in the future!
