Mississippi Bar

Dec. 14, 2008

By Jennifer Kerr

     What an amazing day! I never expected that so many people, particularly so many young people, would brave a cold and rainy day to come orienteering!

     Yes, there were 224 of you! And, yes, we did run out of white and yellow maps and we apologize for the waits and inconvenience this caused.

     I also hope everyone enjoyed all of Stew Hintz's interesting and challenging courses, made more so by the damp Mississippi Bar rocks! And, of course, I'm sure his one-of-a-kind seasonal manmade object (known affectionately as Randolph, since his better-known brother was busy Sunday) as the final control must have made all of you laugh or at least grin!

     It was wonderful to see all the JROTC kids and Scouts out showing that a few sprinkles won't keep them inside. And it was great to see a JROTC group coming all the way from Redding!

     The White course was won by Wayne, Christina and Kyle Woo in a sparkling 27:12. Tops on Yellow were Corbin Lucas and Phoenix Small of the Rio Linda High School JROTC group in a blistering 20:14. BAOC's Jim Fish was victorious on Orange in 85:34. The winner on the Advanced course (a longish Brown) was BAOC's speedy Ben Legg in 39:39.

     This meet would not have run so smoothly without the many volunteers, who had to sit and shiver when all around them were moving to stay warm. Of course, Stew set the great courses (and designed the manmade object--there may be a future career for him in the high-paying orienteering manmade object design field!) as well as doing everything from going after more white maps to picking up the bulk of the controls.

     At the hectic and essential task of registration, we had heroic Kelsey Salinas and Charleen Berschini of the Rio Linda JROTC group, as well as stalwart Jonas Libell. Marsha Jacobs gave seemingly endless beginner instruction to the many, many newcomers. Starts were ably handled by Jeff Thompson and Jim Fish. Dave Takacs did his usual yeoman job on finishes. Dwight Freund and Jeff also helped Stew and me with control pickup. Thanks so much, all of you!
