Oatka Creek Park
October 28, 2012
It was a rainy and chilly fall day, but 57 hearty orienteers/groups participated
in the final Regular Meet of the season at Oatka Creek Park. Tyler Borden set
Scatter courses ("Western Mass. Rules" style). Participants had to choose the
most efficient route to get a certain number of controls, based on their course
of choosing. Route choices and selections of which controls to skip were
emphasized in this format. Some orienteers were better than others in counting
how many controls they had gotten. The Grid-O, 16 controls set out in a 4x4 grid
7.5m between rows in the field in front of the shelter, was also well received by
both newer and advanced orienteers and provided entertainment for those watching.
