A big thank-you to Mark and Mary Frank for today's event. The green course was really excellent with minimal trail running and technically challenging, requiring full concentration the whole course. It made sure that one had to be accurate running on a bearing and reading the subtle features for attackpoints. Only control 11 was a little debatable as a pit on a long leg with really another pit as the attackpoints is tough. A minor one, but worth noting for future. That said, great job,I really enjoyed the course,you made full use of the terrain type. Thank-you.

Yes   thank you for a very  challenging day.  Even though I did not finish my course,  I did learn,   as most of the controls on the orange course were not off a trail.  I think I will have more confidence for next time .  It was a beautiful Fall Day.   Thanks to everyone who helped out.

Thanks for the wonderful courses!  I really enjoyed all the technical challenges out there in the woods.  The woods were also super open and fun to run around in.  It made the navigation that much more enjoyable.
