LOCATION: Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland
MAP: 1:5,000 enlargement, 20 ft. contours, all courses pre-marked. The usual caveat applies regarding the quality of the map. It is somewhat out of date making it inaccurate and inconsistent with respect to paths and vegetation in particular. Important corrections will be made.
TERRAIN: A beautiful place to orienteer. Undulating redwood forest, generally very runnable but with patches of undergrowth. Poison oak is minimal.
TO GET THERE: From Highway 13, the Warren Freeway, head East up Joaquin Miller Road. After about 1.5 miles, turn left on Skyline Drive. After about 1 mile, note the entrance to Roberts Recreation Area. Continue another 200 meters on Skyline and park either side of the road. Follow the streamers on the west side of the road for about 100m to the assembly/start/finish area.
