2019 Bubba Goat Orienteering

The Goat That Was

Thanks to all who came to the 2019 Southeast Region’s Bubba Goat held at Kings Mountain National Military Park on October 19, 2019.  Perfect weather / Perfect courses / Perfect terrain all made for a great orienteering event.

The map was brand new with attribution to Ed Hicks (LIDAR & Basemap) and Bob Burg (field-checking).  The COK is especially thankful to Ranger Leah Tabor and the National Park Service for their support and for allowing orienteering on such hallowed ground.

Southeast Region GOAT

A special mention is in order for two folks who kept the Bubba Goat tradition alive by wearing ol’ timey clothes worthy of any Appalachian holler: Dan Davis in bib overalls ala HeeHaw and Ian McLaughlin in Jethro Bodine attire (Ian twisted his ankle – so we all wish him speedy recovery).

Kudos are in order for great volunteers who helped make the event possible:

• Josef Trzicky (course design / setting)
• Tricia Burd (swag)
• Robbi & Phyllis (registration)
• Davd Hoesly (time-keeping)
• Matthew Getz* (control pickup)
• Walter Siegenthaler (map printing)

*Matt represents a COK partner organization – North Carolina Adventure Racers

The club computer with event software wasn’t available – so, the results cannot include split times.
