A regular meet with four courses on the eastern half of the Rendija Canyon map.

National Orienteering Day... Wow! 154 people participated in our meet Saturday, almost doubling our previous attendance record of 84! We had a gorgeous day, the wildflowers were magnificent, and everyone had a good time. Fortunately people materialized at the last minute to help. Dave Scudder and Robi Mulford rescued me from having to do all the courses plus run the meet by setting and hanging green respectively. Vetters were Steve Ball, white, Una Smith, yellow, Jan Bear and Ries Robinson, orange, and Jason Taylor, green. When Jason took longer than expected vetting green, Jim Johnson went out to look for him, vetting green backwards. They missed each other but both eventually got in. Kathy Siebe did a magnificent job of creating order out of chaos handling registration. Dave Scudder handled starts and finishes, also doing a magnificent job of creating order out of chaos. When the finishes began coming in as fast as the starts, we recruited Joe, Commander of the Albuquerque HS JROTC to handle recording finish times. Major Joe Cancellare, Commander of the El Paso JROTC group checked punch cards, and Dave Barfield hung the finishes. Meanwhile, Dick Opsahl, and Greg and Karen Kendall provided instruction for newcomers, and first Una Smith and then Greg Kendall went down into Rendija Canyon to make sure the JROTC and scout kids headed in the right direction (some of them tended to follow whoever they saw ahead of them, even if the party ahead of them was on a different course). And Tami Martinsen and Andrea Carvey helped out wherever needed, which was everywhere.

There was a mismarking on the clue sheet for the code of control 4, fixed part-way through the morning. Entrants marked * had to deal with the error.

DNF - did not finish, one or more controls missed out.
