Mississippi Bar

We didn't quite have an even hundred people trying out the White beginners' course, just 99! What a magnificent turnout! And many of those were kids: JROTC, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. I love seeing boys and girls running around and having fun in the outdoors! And many first-timers came after seeing a very nice little piece in The Sacramento Bee two days before the meet. The total turnout was 150, quite impressive given the uncertain weather.

 

It was a damp and overcast day, with some on-and-off sprinkles, but everyone seemed to have a great time trying to find the best routes around always fascinating Mississippi Bar. We had a little setback at the beginning, when the gate to the parking lot was locked (state budget cuts??). Note to future MB users: The nice folks at Shadow Glen Family Stables have a key to that gate!

 

Dan Rathbun had an impressive debut as a GCO course-setter. His five courses, from the very easy White to the quite-challenging Red, were well received by participants and gave everyone a nice tour of the park.

 

The winners on White, in a dazzling 14:19 , were Joshua Howe, Charles Worth and Chris Seagers of Rio Linda High School 's JROTC. The next five finishers were also from that gung-ho group! On Yellow, Miles and Autumn Lulla (who call our course-setter Uncle Dan) were the fastest at 52:39. Bill Minarik of BAOC's famed Minarik dynasty took Orange in 78:22.

 

For the advanced courses, the dynasty struck again as George Minarik dominated Green in 87:54. GCO 's Jonas Libell was the victor on Red in 79:11.

 

I must, of course, heartily thank my volunteers, who braved the chilly and dripping weather to get all the participants through. In addition to Dan, many thanks go to Dave Takacs, Marsha Jacobs, Paul Keeton, Jim Fish, Ellie Lightfoot, Dwight Freund and Jonas Libell. And also some of the Rio Linda JROTC crew who put up and took down the registration pop-up and did some lugging for me!

 

I hope many of you who tried Orienteering will return for our future meets.
