Meet Director: Robert Bart
It’s been a few years since the Bart family put on an event. Jefferson Barracks is practically in their back yard, and we’re excited to see what kind of fun they design for us. JB has open grassy fields, wooded depressions, a small but challenging open woods section, paved trails, prairie, and some sections of thick green. Plus museums, monuments, and lots of military history. Come out and get some fresh air before your evening Halloween activities!
- 2026-11-07 Halloween-O at Cliff Cave
Jeff & Carrie are excited to host another event at Cliff Cave. Cliff Cave has dozens of sinkholes to get you spinning in circles. But it’s not that big, you can’t get too lost!
Date: Saturday, November 7

Location: Cliff Cave County Park
Meet Director: Jeff & Carrie Sona

- 2026-11-28 Turkey-O at Cuivre River
This is great park for some holiday week exercise. The terrain is glacially modified – that means the hills are not as steep as some of our other large parks – and there’s a beautiful lake nearby.
Family and friends in town? Take them orienteering! Or let them do a scenic fall color hike…while you’re out looking for checkpoints.
*** Permit in progress – check back to make sure all is good ***
Date: Saturday, November 28
Time: Start anytime between 10:00 am & Noon. Course closes 3:00 pm.
Location: Cuivre River State Park
Meet Director: Mark Geldmeier
Courses: A 3-hour or 1-hour score-O. That means you have one or three hours to find as many checkpoints as you can (in any order). There’ll be plenty of nearby easy CP’s for beginners to find.
