A wonderful course was set by Mike Lyons for our annual Night-O. A score-O format was used with a 90 minute time limit. One could visit controls in any order with a penalty of 1 control for each minute or part of a minute over the time limit. Tim Gorbold cruised the course under 47 minutes leading 7 runners who collected all 24 controls. Thirteen year old Liz Benotti with her eight year old brother collected 17 controls for 460 points (including the 2 most distant controls 61 and 70). There were 122 participants in 60 starting groups.

Gil Robs served as Meet Director. Nancy and Ricard Burgey and Joe Seyfried manned the registration table. Sue Klassen and Francis Nardia brough in snack supplies. Vince Cassano (and others) helped with control pick-up. Dick Detwiler was in charge of recording the times. Karl Kolva was observed helping out in many capacities. I usually forget to mention the job by Sandra Lomker in making sure that there actually are volunteers.

The least visited control was number 23 (control 69) near the river bank. Only 12 people collected this one. The most visited control was number 3 (control 33) at the bottom of the hill across from the fish hatchery. 58 of the 60 groups punched this one. Oddly 7 groups did not punch number 1 (control 31) on the trail close to the start. 22 runners reached the most distant control - number 17 (control 61) on small hill at south end of the park. 51 groups collected number 7 (control 39) near bridge on main road, but only 23 went a little farther to number 9 (control 41) for an easy 30 points. (In my case I didn't even notice that control until I was going over the results!)
