Mountain Cove Grill, 7am-9pm serves breakfast/lunch/dinner (you'll probably find me there if not the parking lot)

Maps/UTM coordinates/punch sheets will be given out at 9am sharp!

The training will be handled like the first leg of an actual race. UTM's for checkpoints(CP's) have been set using Garmin Venture GPS and onsite terrain review by PRD. The full course is 12 CPs and approx 10 miles and will be a "Rogaine".

Rogaine? Not just for balding, rogaining is a type of navigation race where you choose your own route and the order within a fixed amount of time. Why a Rogaine?

• Beginners can get as many CPs as they can before 2pm
• Advanced racers can try to finish the fastest
• Route selection is a key skill
• You'll find this in races (e.g. Save the World, AWAR)
• Avoids "follow the leader" situations

Note: The full course is not for beginners, it will be a workout.

Required Gear: Cell Phone, Compass, Plotter, Pen/Pencil, Water, Your Brain (Aside from using it to navigate there are busy roads throughout the park, participate at your own risk).

Recommended: Straight edge, Money for breakfast/lunch at Mountain Cove Grill, Camera(the area is thick with deer).

p.s. I'm working on prizes for the winning team of 3.
