Discussion: Camp Ripley schedule looks awesome!

The Camp Ripley event schedule looks awesome! The maps and terrain are world class, and for the first time, MNOC has obtained permission to stage a night time race.

Join MNOC for sprints and middle distance races on the afternoon of Saturday October 23rd. These races shall be followed by a potluck picnic and then a 45 minute night score-o. After a restful night in the dorms, Sunday morning will dawn with a full compliment of Orange, Brown, Green, Red and Blue courses.

Map sample Check out those kettles!

That sounds outstanding Todd! If I am not at Ft. Leavenworth, I will try to make it to this one at Ripley!

Oh the amoeba kettles, the night-O, the dorms, the cool weather, the TPeterson on the course design, the comraderie--for what more could an O-thlete ask?

Finding a live artillery shell down range? Would that be too much to ask?

don't worry MNOC Ripley map is not yet georeferenced in ocad 10 so we can't send the control locations to the gunnery range officers for them to download into their equipment and pick off runners ......

What about the bears?

some Canadians are coming to the meet .. I hear they might bring some grizzlies to spice up the night O ...

Now this is starting to sound interesting....kettles, depressions and bears!

just don't pick up any bombs .....just mark them on your map for retrieval later...

Bummer; my headlamp is dead. If someone has a decent spare I can borrow for the night-o, please bring it. Thx.

The maps are so good there you don't need a headlamp. Just use your hands and navigate by feel.
