My first contact with CTOC wa...Hello, Y'all. <br /><br />My first contact with CTOC was in March at Ann Morrison Park. I chose the beginner course (I was a beginner), and John M. helped me with the basics of compass/map alignment, etc. The weather was beautiful and I successfully completed the course w/o too much difficulty. <br /><br />5 weeks roll by and I'm all fired up for Rabbit Creek at Bill Pilcher's spread (thank you Bill). I chose the intermediate course here and it wasn't long before I realized that moving from "Beginner's Walk in the Park" (March) then to "Intermediate Rabbit Creek Course", was a pretty big step. I started at 11:46 and was almost overtaken by John as he was picking up the controls. In my mind during the last bits of this adventure was, "my ambitions are writing checks that my body cannot cash."<br /><br />Regardless, even though I checked in late, without much opportunity to interact with other orienteers, I had a great time.<br /><br />Thank you in massive quantities to John, M., Bill Pilcher, and other unknown (to me) volunteers who pitched in to make the 19th Rabbit Creek outing a success.<br /><br />Hoping to see you all in Idaho City in late May. I'll try not to be late.<br /><br />Pete -The Dude ParadisTheDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250129392194422866noreply@blogger.com
