Wrentham State Forest, Wrentham, MA
May 9, 2015
Meet Directors: Bill Binette and Jim Paschetto

Saturday was a tremendously good-weather day for "walking" orienteers, with temperatures in the 70° range and low humidity. Maybe because of the cool nights, the insects have not yet made a significant hatch. There were lots of flies, but they weren't biting. The meet was sparsely attended, and two reasons were suggested:

1. People had yard work to catch up on, or
2. Memories of the "worst weather ever" and Patriots traffic on Oct. 18, 2009 made the drive to Wrentham SF too painful to contemplate. 

The 51 starters were warned about the amount of climb by a note taped to the menu board. Starting from the north end of Wrentham SF keeps the courses in the big hills. On a very clear day, you can see Boston from the highest point. The Brown course had the smallest percentage of climb at 5.6% (195 m.), but only two people started on Brown. The orienteerers attending were really up for the challenge.

Thanks to the volunteers who helped make this meet happen: Sylvie Guichard, Xavier Fradera, Kelly Guarino, Tim Booth, Richard Powers, Will Daniels, McKenzie Blair, Scott Turner, Tim Parson, and David Miller. (Who are we forgetting?)
