[roc-info] Orienteering at Genesee Country Museum - This Sunday!

[Don Winslow]

Location: The Nature Center at the Genesee Country Museum

Starts: 12 noon - 2pm 

Courses offered:

Beginner - 1.8 km

Intermediate - 3.0 km

Advanced Short - 4.1 km

Advanced Long - 6.5 km

The woods are wide open in most places with some interesting rock and water features.  The map is relatively flat with a few small hills.  This is a great family friendly location because we are starting at the Nature Center so there is nice and warm indoor space with bathrooms.  There are also lots of trails for the beginner course.  The map scale is 1:5,000 with 2.5 meter contours.  

The advanced courses will enjoy the open forest with some intricate rock features and minor contour detail.  The Advanced Long will have a map exchange.  SIAC users AIR+ mode will be active.

Come play in the woods!
