Forgot the Garmin, which I suppose was a good idea as I was checking out control locations.
I decided for this year, the 40th running of the TRaverse, that I would use 6 of the 7 original control locations, so thus following the course of the original, but add in controls from many of the past traverses. The original would be quite boring on today's detailed maps. So there are some easy controls, from the original '73 course, and others chosen from past courses to add interest.
I hope to be noting on the clue sheet the year each control was used.
It is interesting how many sites have been resused over the years, not just by myself, but all the other course setters.
I hope many people attend who have come in the past.
The artwork for the shirts is done by Lena Bengtsson and George Atkinson has agreed to show up, the first course setter, and we have use of the ski lodge. I am trying to put together a collection of all the maps from past years. I have or should have, all years since 1982, the first I ran, but if anyone has years 74 to 81, I would be appreciative.
