No ice to break through on ROC”s official first of the season event THE ICEBREAKER
On the other hand, there were lots of muddy shoes because the course, designed by Linda Kohn,
crisscrossed a very wet, swampy low area. There were fallen logs that a few realized could be
used as a foot bridge with the help of a big stick for balancebut this was a challenge none the less.
There were many first timers because of the Orienteering skills workshop masterminded by Laurie
Hunt with Heidi Hall’s great presentation. There were a lot of happy faces when the first timers
punched the finish box.
The red and green courses had a kilometer run (or walk) between the North and South orienteering
controls. It is unfortunate that the Van Lare sewage treatment plant is smack in the middle of some
great orienteering, with lots of complicated hills and trails and rough stuff to traverse.
Vandalized controls is a rarity at our events, but this time a rowdy group of kids/teens smashed a
control box and threw flag, stand and all into the woods Ed Deller managed to retrieve it and
another control they did not smash.
With sunshine, great courses and a super great crew of volunteers, this event was lots of fun.
