3. Arch Permanent Course

Posted on by

This course is a little different in that you have to not only navigate to the right spot but you also have to identify the correct answer to the clue. Not all are very straightforward so pay close attention!

Keep track of your answers on a sheet of paper and submit your time and answer to Nathan Graves at cavemelon@hotmail.com and we will “grade” and post them.

Arch Orienteerers,

Thanks for running the course.  I left it open for a couple of more weeks at the request of some members.  Results were tricky.  It was harder to get you to think and see what I was thinking and seeing than I thought it would be.  I went ahead and did a point for finding it and venturing a guess and then a second point for getting it correct.  Congrats to Team Freiper for taking home the victory. 

Hope you all enjoyed it.  See you at a meet soon.       

Because the club has turned this into a permanent course I have removed the answers from this post. You can find the map and clue sheet on our permanent course page here. If you have completed this course, you are also now a part of the record of results on our new permanent courses page found here.                            

-Nathan

2. Greensfelder Permanent Course

Posted on by

The first records of this course date to 1976 from the Orienteering Resource Agency with additional field work and drafting completed in 1985.  The control markers are iron stakes with 3D triangular iron tops.  More than one numbering mark can be found on most.  All are badly rusted, two are missing entirely as designated on map and clues key.  A couple are missing their triangular top and just the stake remains.  A few have the top dislodged, one is badly mangled, but they are still in the locations as market on the map.  Enjoy the course at your own risk.

If you would like to post your time, please send an email to Nathan Graves at cavemelon@hotmail.com and we will post it. Please send us a link to a GPS track, with your time, the date, distance, and the name(s) of those who completed it. You are welcome to run this as many times as you would like.
