Although it was a little cooler than usual for this time of year, we had a great turnout at Oregon Ridge today. There were 7 courses from which to choose, ranging from short and easy (White) to long and difficult (Blue). There were almost 200 starts and a little over 270 people showed up for a brisk day of orienteering. The crowd at Oregon Ridge included 14 Midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy, 66 high school students from 4 different Naval JROTC programs (Patuxent, Herndon, Loudon, Governor Thomas Johnson), and a few Boy Scouts from Troop 777. We also had a smattering of participants from 3 other orienteering clubs (DVOA, BAOC, GAOC).
