Awesome course at Coventry Woods. So glad to finally orienteer there!! It’s been a few years since Mt Penn was used. I have course set there a few times and there is no shortage of options with several starting locations and great variety. White woods stay open most of the year. Would love to see it on the calendar again! Don’t worry, I’ll return from my course setting hiatus when the time is right.

Until you are ready, Mr. Eddy, Mar.10 or 17,2014 would work for me to set Mt Penn courses if the maps are up to snuff enough. As of right now the schedule is showing open on those two dates so the event could be set up for a snow/ice/rain date to shift to the second date (Mar 17). I am also open to other dates but much prefer before the greenup.

Excellent!!! There is a new winding trail that goes in the dark green area we don’t really use between the fruit farm and Antietam lot. And one in the fruit farm. I can coordinate to get that added in via gps. Twisted Sister on Trailforks https://www.trailforks.com/trails/twisted-sister-532722/ Boomsauce (Lower) on Trailforks https://www.trailforks.com/trails/boomsauce-lower/ Otherwise should be pretty good. Rocks are still there :)

If the weather of the past two Marches holds for 2024 it should be good for orienteering (fingers crossed).
