Morrow Mountain State Park

We are having a rough season!  After having to cancel the October event due to Hurricane Helene, we got hit by a winter storm for our Morrow Mountain meet. Due to the storm, we decided to move the event from Saturday to Sunday. The weather turned out to be really nice on Sunday, although it was quite cold, especially early in the morning. Participation dropped drastically, from originally 90 maps sold, we ended up with 36 people actually showing up. Many of the participants commented on how nice it was to be out in the woods and enjoying the navigational challenges.

In parallel to our meet, there was a regional Navy JROTC Championship, with somewhat different courses, but using the same controls.  Walter designed the courses for the JROTC event and Keith, for the first time, did the course setting.  He added some additional controls and used the JROTC control locations to design the COK courses. It was a good learning experience for Keith. He also handled start and finish for the first time.  He commented: “It’s quite different to see the meet from the other side of the table”. Great job Keith!

Kris DeBerry, Phyllis Tarrant and James Sisk helped out wherever we needed some help to make the event run smoothly. Thank you!  Your help is really appreciated.

Hopefully, the weather gods will be good to us to make sure we can run the rest of the season without further problems!
