Notes from the mapper and Day 1 course setter Bob Burg
“Of all the terrain I’ve mapped and set courses in, Mountain Lakes is by far my favorite – orienteering heaven for both runner and course setter. So we promise wonderful courses….since every direction you turn you find open runnable terrain.
No shoe-horning courses into sparsely available territory, no need to creatively avoid all the nastiest areas – there are precious few. Dramatic reentrants and cliff-laced spurs everywhere, rolling terraced hillsides with flat grassy mountain tops. Plentiful picturesque lakes and upland seasonally dry marshes that are easy to navigate, challengingly intricate systems of stonewalls in some areas, hard to find in others. And did we mention really, really open white woods?
So we invite you to discover the newest treasure in HVO’s repertoire of venues. Imagine the changing colors the last weekend in October, an inviting staging area with dramatic Finish leg for great spectating, in a modern rustic Westchester County Camp. Hope to see you in the woods. ”
