DVOA McKaig Night-O - Green
Fun Night-O in a cool little park. The place is mainly two big hill masses and we went up both of them a few times. No real navigational troubles. This is a good confidence building place for Night-O as you can pretty much see the lights of nearby houses from anywhere and it has lots of big, useful features. Cool controls were 3 (a manmade object which turned out to be a table in the middle of the woods with a bucket full of Chris's rubber chickens) and 14 (a ruin which was really a huge old chimney and fireplace, and despite it being enormous you really didn't realize this until you were on top of it). There was also a bonfire between 11 and 12 for the beginners to stop, which made it a little hard to figure out how to get over to control 12. Chris had also put out toy animals along the course for the kids to take, like a treasure hunt, but I only saw one (an elephant sitting on a trail sign).
