..I'll bite. I'm guessing a dead body as the police were called? What event was this? And is there anything you can share about it? Would definitely be scary finding a body on a course.

This was the homeschool orienteering workshop. We rescheduled most participants from Tuesday to Wed because of the thunderstorms early Tuesday. Mid-day on Wednesday, an orange course participant reported that there was a possible body in the creek, but thought that maybe it was a prank or Halloween prop. Rex S and I went to investigate, and yes it was a body. Probable suicide by hanging. Difficult location to get to, in a very steep and rocky stream bed. Several cops got pretty muddy, one of the CSI guys took a tumble down a steep bank but claimed to be unhurt - but I bet he'll be sore for a couple days. Fortunately, the location was not on the most likely route between controls and wasn't near the easier courses. Most of the participants had no clue that anything was going on since we brought the police in thru private property on the back side of the park.
