Event Director’s Report
On an exceptionally hot day for May, I put out an overly expansive field of controls (32) that no one came close to clearing in the 90 minute time limit. Top honors go to Todd Pownell for capturing the most controls (19) and tying in total score (410). His roughly minute and a half time advantage gave him the overall crown ahead of Phillip Wadsworth and Mark Siegel.
I included a mystery control that could be found by triangulating compass bearings from controls #48 and #66. It was worth an additional 55 its. Relative newcomer Charlie Schreier (Bingpot) was the only one to find it. WAY TO GO CHARLIE! Whereas there was some science in his effort, he admitted that in the end… he kinda bumped into it. 😁
In honor of our first ‘Back to Normal’ event, we raffled off several small prizes along with a grand prize of a $100 gift card to Appalachian Outfitters, won by newcomer Mark Siegel. Other winners were Charlie Schreier, the Keene Family, Anderson Family.
Our next event is scheduled for June 26th at Firelands Scout Reservation in Wakeman, OH. (West of Oberlin and LaGrange). If you can volunteer to assist with this event, please contact Howard@neooc.com.
Thank you, Howard Montgomery, Event Director
