2025-03-11 Beaumont Scout O-Fest Results

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it out to the O-Fest at beautiful Beaumont. The weather was awesome and so were the hills! We had a good turnout. My apologies to all the intermediate course participants. We didn’t intend to make the Green course that difficult but it turned out to be an advanced course with a shorter length and a lot of climbing! Give yourself a pat on the back for attempting that course and keep your chin up if you didn’t think you did that well. We will try to have a more true “intermediate course” for our future events. I’ve listed the Club Results first and the Scout Score-O results are on the bottom. Special thanks to David Fisher, John Daberkow, Jeff Ryan, Nathan Graves, and Bridge Borderlon for help with the event. I hope you had fun and we hope to see you again at future events. – Josh Borgmeyer

2025-02-22 Tame The Dragon Results

Tame the Dragon provides a great challenge for the fastest racers while also giving beginners (and everyone in between) the opportunity for an epic navigation adventure. With 8″ of snow falling earlier in the week, followed by bitter cold, the woods were a winter wonderland. On race day, early morning temperatures in the teens warmed into the upper 30’s by afternoon with sunny skies and light winds. The snowfall slowed the pace just enough. No one cleared the course this year. The Dragon would not be tamed.

It was great to see all the ROTC cadets from the Lafayette MO-81st. Nice job!

A big thanks to Gary and Ellen Thompson for putting on another successful rendition of this race. And thank you to all the participants. We hope you had a wonderful time in the snow!

***Check back for additional results details to be posted***

2025-01-25 Babler Cold Nose O’ Results

You just never know what kind of conditions you’re going to get at the first event of the year…sometimes it’s mild, sometimes it’s muddy, last year we had sub-zero temperatures. This year we had ice! The snow in the woods was compacted with a tough icy layer on top and the trails resembled bumpy bobsled runs. Thanks to everyone who came out to brave the ice!

Thanks to Mark Geldmeier for helping with registration and numerous other logistical support tasks. Rick Armstrong lent his substantial institutional knowledge by providing course consultation and also helped with control setting. Thank you, Rick!

Lost and Found:

  • One YakTrax (I spoke with the gentleman who lost it, but I forgot his name!)
  • One baseplate compass (it looks pretty new)

Please reach out to a SLOC member to claim these items.

2024-12-14 Holiday O’ Results

A beautiful occurrence during a rainstorm can be found in the woods. Take a seemingly temperate ancillary creek bed or the persuasion of a ditch, curious in location but otherwise innocuous. With rain brings them to life, their function suddenly apparent and stunningly simple. The normal still and patience of the woods, the chatter of squirrel activity, replaced with the collective notes of water navigating branches, fallen leaves, and rock-laden passageways known as reentrants. It’s this way with water.

Another occurrence you’ll find in the woods during a rainstorm is orienteering controls that were placed and carefully prepared before the rain. The lovely earth bank holding CP 12 is now a small pond. What of CP 8 you ask? It was placed across a gentle, beautiful, and meandering creek easily crossed by confident leap. Today, however, we find this creek busy ferrying the day’s rain and requiring its visitors to partake in what some would call wading. 

Thank you to the adventurous souls who came to play in the woods today. When they arrived they carried a countenance steeped in thought, clothing choices, and the uncertainty of what lay ahead. When they finished the course, all bore a wide smile, a countenance flushing with “I just did that”, and tales regaling this seldom experienced beauty of a rainstorm in the woods.

2024-11-30 Don Robinson Turkey-O

WOW! What a beautiful and fun day in the woods.  Mother nature provided some bonus weather for this year’s Turkey-O but the snow only added to the fun for more than 70 participants.  Adding a 3rd course at the last min also some of the Advanced course racers a couple of extra challenges to deal with. 

Many thanks to Mark Geldmeier for all the logistical support, Chris Heupel for helping check the course and to Ken Debeer and Joe Marincel for helping pick up controls, Thank you gentlemen!

Thanks to all who braved some snowy weather to make this event a huge success.   

After the meet was finished,  I revisited control #15, 90 min course, or #26 on the 3hr course and agree with several racers who commented that the CP was not marked correctly on the map. I have therefore credited all racers with reaching that CP in the results below.  

2024-11-09 Halloween O at Cliff Cave

Thanks to Jeff and Carrie Sona for putting on a great event at Cliff Cave. There was a little rain, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the adventurers that attended. And yes, there were costumes.

2024-10-12 Jefferson Barracks Results

Wow!  A big thanks to everyone that came to Jefferson Barracks County Park on Saturday.  We had 121 total participants that enjoyed a warm mid-October day at the park.  It was a little crazy and chaotic, but wonderful to have the park full of so many orienteers.  A good mix of old-timers, new faces, and lots of energetic JROTC cadets.  A big thanks to co-meet director Terri Zuber for everything, Jeff Sona for doing beginner briefings, Lily Munch for computer registration entry, and Brian Rodenbeck for control pickup.

JB is popular. We’re used to seeing frisbee golf, overly tame deer, and large gatherings at the pavilions.  But, we added a wedding to the list this year.  Right in the path of the beginner course!  So, yep, something old, something new, some compasses borrowed, no one was blue.  Ultimately, the wedding proceeded with “I do”, and our participants finished with, “I did it”!

On the Green (advanced) course, CP #11 had been re-located after the maps were printed.  It was noted on the map, but not clear enough for some participants.  Those unfortunate souls scoured the nasty briars, brambles, and underbrush searching the original location in vain before either spending a lot of time or giving up.  This opened the door for others to move up in the results.  For an interesting comparison, the timing for just the first 10 CP’s on the Green course has also been calculated.

Thanks everyone for coming out and making this event a huge success!
