Event Write-Up

By

The weather was wonderful this weekend! 80 degrees, spring-like grass from the recent rains, and dried-up poison oak.

Event turnout was impressive. I counted 146 groups on the start sheets, including 75 girl scouts and their parents, 15 JROTC students, and multiple students doing this as a map-reading exercise for their science class. We ran out of White maps and rental finger sticks by 11, but improvised and everyone was able to do their course.

I was impressed by the teamwork and consideration of the JROTC group from Milpitas High School. They couldn’t be dissuaded from signing up for a difficult Green course, but their four groups eventually joined and everyone returned together, after four hours out on the course, at exactly 2:00 PM.

Thank you so much to all the volunteers—we had a lot of participants today, including a lot of first-timers, but everything went smoothly because you filled in wherever you saw a need. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Many thanks to:

Trail-O Write-Up

By

Roughly 25 people tried the timed Trail-O control today. While I didn’t keep track of times, names and scores, about two-thirds of the people got it correct. The fastest time was 8 seconds. The answer for control 1 was C, and for control 2 was B. Almost all the people that asked me the answer to control 2 got it right.

I’d like to thank Nick Corsano for vetting and providing the bags, Ev & Jean Beuerman for rounding up equipment while I was out of town, and Trinka Gillis for providing me with some stands at the last minute.
