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\u2019s rain and requiring its visitors to partake in what some would call wading.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 \u201cI just did that\u201d, and tales regaling this seldom experienced beauty of a rainstorm in the woods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11824\" style=\"width:427px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367-scaled.jpeg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/IMG_7367-scaled.jpeg?resize=150%2C113&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members Nathan Goff and Barkley upon their return<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ICC-2024-Results.png?resize=625%2C628&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ICC-2024-Results.png?w=625&amp;ssl=1 625w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ICC-2024-Results.png?resize=300%2C301&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ICC-2024-Results.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ICC-2024-Results.png?resize=299%2C300&amp;ssl=1 299w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stlouisorienteering.org\/staging\/4172\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/ICC-2024-Results.png?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A beautiful occurrence during a rainstorm can be found in the woods.
