We return again to the southwest portion of Briones, where the map extension provides options for new terrain and interesting route choices.
White, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green, Red, and Blue courses will be offered. All courses will be pre-marked, and will have e-punching. Grass stickers and thistles are usually abundant, so be sure to wear gaiters and long pants.
The annual Scout-O will be held concurrently with the regular event, so expect a sizable crowd. Although pre-registration is required for the Scout-O, it is NOT required for the BAOC B-meet. BAOC members please note that your showing is very good publicity for the club, and sets an example for hundreds of scouts and adults to see!! Please do come, with your best O-gear, a smile, and a word of encouragement for the youngsters.
Registration opens at 9:00. Starts will be at the usual times — from 10:00 to 12:30. Allow an extra 10 minutes to get to a slightly remote start.
If you are able and willing to help out on the day of the meet, or before, we sure could use your help! Please let me know.
Driving Directions
Registration will be at the West entrance to the park, off of Bear Creek Road. To get there, take route 24 West from 680 or East from 80. Exit at Orinda, heading North on Camino Pablo. After about 2 miles, turn right onto Bear Creek Road. After about 3.5 miles, the park entrance will be on your right — it is well sign-posted. (Don’t be fooled by the parking area on the left — that’s not it.) There is a charge of approximately $4.00 for parking. Please carpool if possible.
