Cycle situps - 85

At New Holland, PA - Spring Gulch Resort campground. I, Billy Allaband and Patti were doing the field checking for make a brand new basic orienteering map for special event on June. The event called Eastern Deaf Timberfest. This event will be 14th and 2nd time for orienteering. The EDT committee told me there will be about 300 to 400 campers will show up.

Cycle situps - 85 and 20 crunches.

Event: QOC & SVO: McKeldin - The Stumble
 

At Patapsco State Park - McKeldin at 8:30am setup 8 controls for mostly white and some yellow courses.

Was little overwhelmed with many new deaf people who came first time for orienteening. Patti and I spend time to explaining how to read map and compass. We were in hurry to put up our orienteering clothes, gaiters and shoes then zoom and join with group of Stumble orienteers along with Ted Good. It was cool to across the river. Of course, the water was cold.

Pick up 7 controls on northeast side of McKeldin.

My first time experince with Stumble event. Really like it and will do again next year. I was little slow to decide to setup route to the "window" area. Got one bad error and lost about 10 minutes and small error about 6 minutes. Also, about 2 minutes due one of epunch unit didn't blink so I wait until Gary Smith came and punch the "bad epunch unit" didn't blink and no sound either. Just want to make sure I don't get "MP". Later, Val told me that epunch unit battery is dead.
