Some random facts from the meet:

Weirdest reason to skip a control: While hanging the controls Saturday morning, I discovered that a wedding was planned for out in the woods, and that it would take place during the meet right in the middle of a control circle on four of the courses.

Least time between controls: James Scarborough averaged approximately two minutes between controls, on the Blue course.

Worst luck: Bruce Osmun somehow got a leftover clue sheet from a previous meet rather than one for the course he ran. (Biggest glitch of the meet that I'm aware of.)

Best tour guide: Sherry Litasi gave our Forest Service contact a tour of the Brown course.

Most controls picked up after the meet: 18 by Jan Ingebrigtsen. Honorable mention to Doug Berling, Brooke Mann, & Troy Bozarth.
