Funny thing, one day was kind of warm, with temperatures at 68 F, while the next day had snowflakes with temperature of 34 F. pic.twitter.com/iceOu6na4y
Finishing with just a few seconds to spare, Brian Meyer lays down on the ground. To an over-zealous "finisher recorder", who has to cross-off participants using bib number as identification, and his insistence on knowing Brian's bib number, the conversation got colorful ;-) pic.twitter.com/06RnxFwLcH

So close to each other, but then, separated by a barrier of "jaggers" (that's Pittsburghese for briars, thorns, scratchy thick vegetation...)

MI climber: you really went through that stuff? pic.twitter.com/2tZxVtFc0C
For our 10th year of this event, we did something new: held TWO events, one on Saturday (3-hr), other on Sunday (6-hr). Both filled to permit capacity of 125. Some folks participated on both. By a freak of Nature, the two were separated by 24 hours and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. pic.twitter.com/2e76jjKAqM

wow... this is wild... 2 teams, totally unrelated, found the exact set of controls in the 3-hr #raccoongaine, but each going in opposite sequence...

The Trash Pandas team beat Boulder Bob team of @NEOOrienteering by less than a minute. pic.twitter.com/Hw0aGCRxob
Limo-gaine. That's right, folks. Finish 'em rogaining events in style. Have a stretch limo rendezvous at a pre-specified location to pick you up, and deliver you to the finish just in time before finish time.
