Rode along with Eric out to some training at Salmon la Sac, also known as "Land of the Thirteen-Minute Kilometer." Salmon la Sac is a true orienteering meat grinder, offering the ideal combination of giant rock cliffs, scree slopes, massive hills, horrible vegetation, waist-high slash, and Scandinavian technicality. Starting a course at Salmon la Sac is known as "going over the top." Finishing a course at Salmon la Sac is an accomplishment in itself.
However, scattered amongst the carnage are areas of true brilliance that make you feel like an orienteerer is meant to feel. I've seen nothing to compare to it in my (admittedly limited) orienteering travels.
