Mini-rogaine over the whole of the Rendija Canyon map.
This event was a mini-rogaine. 56 people participated and all appeared to have a good time. [! Must have been the drugs.] The weather was perfect. We had some pretty windy weather in the week after we hung most of the controls, but only one blew down (and blew away). Fortunately, Damian Swift found it later in a stream bed not too far from where it was supposed to be, so we haven't lost it, but runners spent time looking for it without success. That was the only glitch of the day.
Finishers ran in under a Finish banner that was due to the combined efforts of Kathy Siebe, who made the banner and Dick Opsahl, who built the frame and posts for it. Many thanks to both. And as always, we couldn't have put on the meet without the help of so many people. I'm especially appreciative because a lot of people came forward to help out when I was out of commission from shoulder surgery. Special thanks goes to Rick Kelley, who first updated the map and then accurately pre-printed all the controls on it, as well as set controls and helped out at the meet. Many thanks to control setters Una Smith, Garth Reader, Dick Opsahl, Robi Mulford, Damian Swift, and Rick Kelley. Many thanks to control hangers Rainer Bleck, Jan Bear, Damian Swift, Robi Mulford, Greg and Karen Kendall, and Dick Opsahl. And many thanks to control picker uppers, Dave Scudder, Greg Scudder, Damian Swift, Garth Reader, Greg Kendall, and Robi Mulford. Karen Kendall and Laura Hlinak helped Rick Kelley with checking punch cards at the finish. -- Judy Opsahl Asterisk: those who helped set controls were not eligible for a prize (but were still eligible for a placing: sorry about the confusion in the original web posting).

Two of the Moriarty teams were obviously either too tired or too dissatisfied with their scores to hand in their punch cards. Or else they're still out there - sorry folks, we took in the controls!
Scoring System:
There were 52 controls scattered all over the map (including one bonus powers-of-observation control that wasn't marked on the map, oops). Each control was worth between 10 and 60 points depending on how difficult it was to get to. For 60 we could have hidden it under a rock: stop complaining. Runners coming in after the time limit had 10 points deducted from their score per minute late, hence the zero and negative scores. If two teams or individuals got the same score, their ranking was determined by who came in earlier.
