  1:00 pm	All courses close at 1:00 pm. (We'll start picking up controls at 1:00 pm. Out of consideration for the meet volunteers, please check in and download at the Finish no later than 1:00 pm even if you haven't completed your course.)

• Courses: This meet will offer standard Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced courses. You can find an explanation of the orienteering course color scheme at our FAQs page.

  - The Beginner courses (White and Yellow) will be suitable for Beginners of all ages -- kids, adults, families, etc.

  - Bear Creek and Turkey Creek are usually crossable if you don't mind getting your feet wet. Sometimes, however, the water flow is strong enough make crossing dangerous. In that case, you MUST cross on a bridge. The bridges are marked on the map with purple crossing-point symbols. Please ask about the crossing status at check-in.
