Orienteering Meet at Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch
Sunday, May 31st, 2009 -- Elbert
Our turnout for Peaceful Valley Training on Saturday, May 30th, was awesome this year! We trained all levels from total novice to advanced / expert orienteers. We'll be doing this again next year, so please set aside the last weekend in May 2010!
I want to thank Michael Rounds and Brian Coleman who helped me train the beginners, Simon Maybury who trained the advanced beginners, Bob Ellis who trained intermediate level, and Plamen Djambazov and Neal Barlow who led groups of advanced orienteers. It's hard to train an advanced orienteer because they already know so much, but I heard good feedback about the training.
After training, people set up camp near the Lost Creek shelter. Many stayed in scout tents while some camped in their own tents or campers. We had a delicious potluck dinner in the shelter -- which was a good thing since it rained for a few hours. Brian Coleman made jambalya and apple cobbler in his dutch ovens -- a big hit! Fred Crofford grilled some steak. Others brought salads and desserts. I set up my massage table and worked on a few people. Then after dark, a few brave souls picked up controls to practice a bit of night-orienteering. Nora Lund provided bagels, cream cheese and salmon for breakfast. Great conversation with interesting people!
Thanks to Carol Johnson, Goril and Ceasar Jones, Øystein Sorensen, Thomas Nipen, Michael Rounds, Jordan Britt, Taylor Davis, and Fred Crofford who picked up controls from the training courses. Fred did a great job getting signs in the right places at the right time. Fred and Jody Handerson helped with registration. Thanks to everyone who helped clean up the shelter.
Sunday morning the weather was awesome! It was clear and sunny, and the smell of the ponderosa pines and wildflowers provided a fabulous venue for terrific courses set by John Crowther and vetted by Neal Barlow. Everyone had a chance to practice their skills on Sunday, May 31st; some people who did not camp drove out just for the day.
For those of you who missed out, we are planning another camp-out and potluck August 8th and 9th as part of the Venture Scouting X-games. We'll have a Night-O on Saturday and a regular meet on Sunday.
All the best!
