ED/CS Notes:
We invite you all -- club members, scouts, cadets, and general public -- to explore the diverse terrain of Rutgers Ecological Preserve this Sunday, featuring Hurricane Sandy's handiwork, 675 1.5m to 4m mapped rootstocks (and counting), making for a dramatic landscape.
The preserve offers great variety, from expanses of gently sloping open woods to stream beds that have cut dramatic valleys through the park, areas of vegetation that challenge your route choices to an intricate trail system in some areas while no trails to be found in others. It offers a wonderful range of forest and occasional fields for course setting -- no exhausting climb (just check out the stats listed below), no boulder fields, no marshes.
So come enjoy the definitely autumn weather, no rain, lots of sun.
Normal Start times anytime from 10am to 1pm. But get back to Finish by 3pm. We'll start picking up controls by then to accommodate early dusk.COURSE STATS
