Another awesome weekend at Pawtuckaway is in the books. Though it feels a little odd to now be home, having done absolutely no orienteering, nor even taking a dip in the lake - and yet feeling quite satisfied with the whole weekend anyhow.

Took 8 of the boys from the Troop (plus Hayden, not old enough to join yet) up for the weekend, and to learn from the best. Ali made a guest appearance after lunch on Saturday to talk to the boys about what it was like to race against the best in the world in France. The boys seemed to really enjoy that.

I lost count of how many courses were run (I'll wait for results to post) but we had groups out on everything from white to tan, two teams in the Vampire O and one of our three canoe-O teams were the only team to visit all 16 controls - we'll just ignore the fact that they were two hours past the one hour time limit :-) But we were providing the boats for the weekend, so I guess a little leeway was in order....

Two of the boys completed their orienteering merit badges, the other boys got a substantial number of requirements completed.



I'll post some photos later perhaps. Too tired right now... Time to get back to NipMuck preparations - 3 weeks to go and far too many details still to nail down...

Event: UNO Pawtuckaway State Park Camping Weekend
 

CSU-Western MA Renegade Training. Total for both courses. Cool, wet, slippery and a good head wound on my second control. Dark in woods toward end so really not moving too fast. But a fine time nonetheless.
