Belmont Shores July 2023

Mother's Beach and Surrounding Neighborhood

Sunday, July 9, 2023

This was our first in-person event at Belmont Shores since 2019 and Rich Hoesly set a marvelous course. Due to construction, routes to the east side of the usual map weren't open, so Rich instead extended the map to the west. He also created a new basemap using Open Street Map, which showed the difference between streets and alleys much more nicely than our previous version. All of the questions were fun and accurate and everyone had a great time. The weather also cooperated with overcast coolness giving way to the sun just as the event was ending. John Kuechle managed to pick up the win with 26 correct answers and only a small penalty for a wrong answer. Jennifer Sorbello was top female with 23 controls and no penalties.
