Tara picked the perfect activity for this fall day – a corn maze orienteering event run by the Rocky Mountain Orienteering Club. We showed up a bit too early, then tried to sandbag the competition by getting Jeremy to talk to some Scouts who were out acquiring an Orienteering merit badge.
Thankfully, the wunderkind of orienteering was in a different division (he and Jenn nailed 1st place in the team division), as I was the one who tried to blow by the scouts and ended up missing the 2nd (2nd!) checkpoint, found myself lost at #3, then doubled back and stayed on target for the rest of the race finishing in a respectable (I think) 7th place for my first orienteering event. Full results.
Post event activities included consuming “meat-on-a-stick”, ramming each other with pedal-carts, flinging gourds, riding tractors and generally making fools of ourselves.
Enjoy the video:
A few of us might even be psyched for some future orienteering events.
Have a good weekend!
