About 40 people participated in last Saturday's meet, including a group from Amarillo, TX, and a couple from Las Cruces. Moss Aubrey and his crew of course setters (Jerry Boyd and Andrea Carvey) set some challenging courses for advanced orienteers, but also managed some fun white and yellow courses, that were enjoyed by a girl's soccer team orienteering for the first time, and both a long and a short orange course. All in all it was a great meet. Many thanks Moss for ably directing the meet, Jerry and Andrea for their help in course setting, and to Andrea for getting the Forest Service to finally issue our permit just in time for the meet. It is good for a year, and hopefully we will have an easier time getting our permit next year.

As always, a meet can't be put on without a lot of help. We are grateful for vetters Colm Connaughton, Andrea Carvey, new member Scott Stevenson, Michelle Palmer, and Jason Taylor, and for Jason Taylor, Judy Opsahl, Tami Martinson, Dick Opsahl & Kathy Siebe, who helped with registration, starts, and finish results. Did I miss anyone? Everyone's help is much appreciated.

We have some new members who joined at the meet, and I will send out an official welcome to them in my next e-mail which will also contain details of the next meet, August 25. Meanwhile several of us are going up to ,Colorado for the RMOC multiday meet and the USOF convention. If you have been thinking about going, the deadline for registration for any or all parts of the event is July 28th. It will be a fun way to spend a week this summer.

This course was cancelled because of an error on the part of the organizers. Control #7 was hung in the wrong location. Most of the entrants had successfully completed the course up to that point. Times given below are approximate for the first 6 controls. We are truly sorry for allowing this to happen.

DNF - did not finish, one or more controls missed out. DSQ - disqualified, e.g. mispunched a control
