Gold Rush Night Orienteering.

May 2nd, 2015. New Hogan Lake, Valley Springs. Oak Knoll campground.

Saturday evening saw a large group of orienteers tackle a fun course at New Hogan reservoir. The event got underway at about 9pm with 2 minute intervals between competitors. A pre-marked map was provided with 10 checkpoints set. A large number of trails provided wide route choices,

A barbecue and good company entertained those who finished earlier while we waited  for the rest of the field to return.
