Barton Flats Aug 2023

Barton Flats near Angelus Oaks, CA

Sunday, August 27, 2023

Tropical Storm Hilary had us all on the edge of our seats waiting to see if this event would go forward. Luckily, the road damage on Highway 38 was beyond Barton Flats and the rangers allowed us to continue. Mike Reason set some wonderful courses that gave everyone a chance to get near Jenks Lake and presented some new challenges. The nature of the trail network made it difficult to set both White and Yellow and have them be distinctly different, so Mike set a single longer Basic level course, which was quite popular. Pavel Mamontov whizzed through that and then went back out on the Orange course. Team Vas Normandy won the Orange course and the winners at the expert level were a roster of usual suspects: Alex Kiperman, Roland Hansson, Lorenzo Rossi, and Clare Durand (who only hung controls that weren't on her course).
