Highland
Park NOD
September
15, 2012
Mother Nature cooperated for ROC's 2012 National Orienteering Day
celebration. The dark clouds gathered just in time for the meet to
start, after a sunny morning with temperatures in the 60's. The
rain held off though, so conditions were perfect for enjoying one
of the four orienteering options. In addition to the usual White,
Yellow, and Sprint courses there was a 12 or 24 control Random-O
that allowed participants a thorough exploration of Highland Park.
Many of the orienteers chose to do more than one course.
The Cornell Cooperative Extension was a great home base for all the
folks who turned out; including Girl Scouts, RIT students, and first
timers who discovered ROC via ROC's meetup site. The festivities
included door prizes, free OUSA stickers and copies of Orienteering
North America, with orange balloons for the children. As always,
everyone raved over the delicious refreshments provided by Mary Kolva.
Behind the scenes there was a bit of excitement when Jim Pamper
discovered police and park staff examining control flags by the
reservoir that Laurie Hunt had hung earlier that morning. She had taken
advantage of the fence and an existing park stake to hang the controls.
The police didn't know what to make of the strange devices and thought
that it might be a terrorist threat to the water supply! After vouching
for the innocence of our e-punch boxes, Jim obligingly returned to the
CCE for stakes and rehung the flags a little farther from the perimeter
of the reservoir.
Also memorable was Mike Lyons having a near miss with becoming part of a
wedding party. He realized as he approached the control behind the Sunken
Gardens at Warner Castle that there was a wedding taking place. He knew he
would be visible if he went for the control, so he took a DNF rather than
be the talk of wedding guests for years to come.
Many thanks to all our volunteers, and our door prize sponsors: OUSA, Fleet
Feet, and Tony Fendikevich of Empire Health & Fitness.
