Last Minute Requests for Batsto
-
Topic created by bobburg on Wed Apr 17, 2019 at 12:03 pmI'm looking for someone who is coming to Batsto and who lives reasonably close to the Franks to take all the fingersticks (2 reasonably small and very light plastic cases) to Mark once all the fingersticks are accounted for. Mark needs all the fingersticks DVOA has for MASOC, and then to organize packets for the scouts as soon as possible.And second, while our primary crew is ready to go, we could use extra hands and welcoming volunteers. So if you know you're coming to Batsto (to run a great course in amazingly open terrain), please help us for an hour or so, even let me know you'll help out when you get there. bburg at comcast dot net.

Reply by Orienteer7 on Thu Apr 18, 2019 at 9:34 amBob:You must not have received my email a few days ago. I have decided not to go to West Point next weekend to prepare for the S-MASOC31 event the following weekend. I will therefore be coming to Batsto on Saturday bringing both DVOA tents and a DVOA blade and will stay to take the epunches and whatever equipment is not moving on to another event (and that will fit in my car). I should be there by 9am.Mark

Reply by bobburg on Fri Apr 19, 2019 at 10:07 pmLatest Update from BatstoVegetation has flourished in the warm dry sunny days this Spring, but the Batsto terrain and sandy soil will definitely welcome (and easily absorb) tonight's soaking rain. The groundcover is just shy of budding, so after overnight rain we might see just a few more budding leaves opening up while running our courses tomorrow. But just a little......This should prove to be a wonderful day of orienteering in warm spring temperatures, with rain disappearing just as Starts begin. So please come out to experience the very best of what Pineland terrain can ever offer.I've definitely designed courses to reward FUN, rather than technical prowess. Lots of runnable route choices that leaves the subtle terrain to challenge your technical prowess. Trust your map reading and navigation You'll have a ball!!!And besides, treats for the youngest among us.....including ourselves.
and watch for easter soap bubbles.....
