For once we had a glorious, sunny weekend at Bon Tempe. Both days were the same weatherwise, so we combined the times into one results list. The treats (hot chocolate, tea, orange juice, and homemade cupcakes) were provided by Penny. The nominal cost for all this was provided by Peter Graube, who sent in his entry and check but couldn't come, so he said it would be his contribution. Thanks to Evan Custer for the orange juice and the OCAD mapping.
In the weeks prior to the event, Penny and I were remapping various areas of the park, since the Marin Water District has had an ongoing program to rid the park of nonnative plants, trees, and Scottish broom. This made for very runnable terrain in areas that had considerable undergrowth last year. However, the "hillside of death," as Steve Gregg calls it, still has some problems, although each time the area is remapped it gets better. Penny and I considered that if one stayed on their contour and counted off the mapped features as they went along, they should be okay. The ultimate feature, of course, is the "rock of Gibraltar" - you can't miss it.
Many thanks to the control pick-up crew: James Wilson, Chris Taylor, Kelly Wells, and Steve Gregg.
