Orienteering 2:00:00 [5]

Extreme-O. I actually have no idea what our time was. I did this with Mike Minium. Isabel did it with Addison (who came with Mike) and Dan (NEOC). The kids won our section (short A), handily -- they were last to start and first to finish.

It struck me how much fun the kids had. Working together, as a team, orienteering, and solving a few puzzles along the way. They had a BLAST. Running through the woods in teams and making it fun -- that is what ARK is doing; that is what we want to do in the US. There was real orienteering; maybe the controls weren't super duper hard, but it was definitely real orienteering. There were some corridor-O legs, and a contour-only section (you could add features from a master map if you wanted). There were some controls hung in culverts (thanks, Mike, for getting those!); a part of the map on aerial photo; a kayak control (which one team of boys swam); a murder scene control; a section where you matched photos to the scene. Isabel loved it. She loved it. The kids got to run together, play together.
