WPOC night orienteering event at Yellow Creek
State Park on Saturday October 18. This is a reminder that the night events work a little differently - EACH PERSON must pay a map fee and must carry a map, a compass, a whistle, a light and probably extra batteries (bright colored clothing is also recommended). The map fee is $6 ($5 for members); registration goes from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm (please don't arrive at the last moment). Don't arrive late; we will shut the gate soon after 7 pm. Map distribution and briefing are at 7 pm and there is a mass start at 7:30 pm. This is a 3 hour score type event with 40 controls in the woods.

PREREGISTRATION IS PREFERRED. To preregister, just send me an e-mail stating your name and the names of others who are coming with you (or at least a estimate of the number of others). I ask for this so we can print an appropriate number of maps and can expedite the registration process. I had hoped to use e-punching for this event; but our computer recently crashed; so, we will be doing manual punching. You can check out our Night-O rules at www.wpoc.org/nightorules2014.htm

Driving directions are very simple: To reach the south shore of Yellow Creek SP (Day Use Area), from the junction of US 422 and the north end of PA 259 (8 miles east of Indiana), take route 259 south about one mile to the Day Use Area. Turn right and follow the red and white orienteering signs to parking.
