You're Invited! Along with the course setter for this event, QOC veteran Sidney Sachs will host a Zoom meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 8 pm to review selected Balls Bluff course legs and analyze the routes various orienteers took. Please contact Sid for the invite link.

The weather for the Ball’s Bluff orienteering event was as wacky as 2020 has been, ranging from wet and chill to windy and sunny as the day progressed. It was great to see the 150 individuals and groups that got out on courses. Thanks to Charles Carrick who designed and set a great round of courses that challenged competitors throughout the park.
A particular thanks to all the great QOC volunteers who helped out with the event. Getting everything setup, stations manned, competitors out on the courses and packing all up, it always helps to have a great crew. Paul Collinson helped with setup. Bill Vienna, Justin Green, Inigo Ahedo, Scott Sharp, and John Vierow ensured that check-in and map distribution went smoothly and safely. Rob Lines, Gary Quam, and Ginny Quam provided assistance out at the start locations.
Control Pick-up always deserves recognition for helping to get everything put back together after these folks have already spending time out on courses. Charles Carrick, John Organek, Art Cantrell, John Baker, Gavin Wiese, Rob Fields, and Bill Wright did a great job retrieving the flags and control boxes.
Amy Loudon and Valerie Meyer, once again, provided their exemplary management of e-Punch and results even though one pesky control didn’t want to “Fall Back” with the time change.
I’d also like to recognize Daniel Heimgartner who has worked hard over the past several years to improve the map that we have for Ball’s Bluff. He’s done a great job of updating features so that the map still resembles the terrain as it ages.
What an awesome outpouring of help to make the day fantastic. QOC has the best members! Thank you to all who came out to compete and stepped up to pitch in.
