Bluff Lake, Day 1 2022

Bluff Mesa Group Campground near Big Bear

Saturday, June 25, 2022

With temps in the valley topping triple digits it was great to share the cool mountain breeze with more than 60 orienteers in the beautiful new venue of Bluff lake. Competitors enjoyed a relatively fast running area but with many subtle features, few paths and so many boulders it was a navigation challenge at all levels. Our visitors from Australia showed excellent skills with Melissa Thomas being the fastest at both the red course and the following day's score-o.

Thanks to all who helped make this event happen, especially:

Mapping and Course Design - Roland Hansson

Preregistration - Allan Pincus
Start - Jeff Laun
Epunch/Finish - Rich Hoesly

Meet Director - Roland Hansson

Also, special thanks to the Troop 509 scouts who designed and set the white and yellow courses for Sunday.
