Pawtuckaway 2004 Canoe-O

Girl scout troup staying at the group area (Sep 11, 2004, 11:58am) This year the orienteering meet was unable to use the group picnic area at Pawtuckaway because that area was being used for a wedding (more later). So we use the pavillion in the group camping area instead. However, the group camping area was begin used by at least two groups of girl scouts. I do not think the girl scouts participated in the orienteering events. Here is a picture of one of the groups, "hanging out" in the middle of a field next to the orienteering start/finish area. P.S. Over a hundred orienteers plus a couple of groups of girl scouts all relying on the small bathrooms at the group camping pavillion equaled long lines for the women.

The woods were filled with packs of wild girls (Sep 11, 2004, 12:04pm) You can tell that these girls are not orienteering. For one thing, they do not have a map. Then there is the fact that they are walking around in a large group (orienteering is usually done solo or in a very small group). But they are in the middle of one of the courses, slowly walking towards the finish area. Just one of the hazards that a runner must avoid (sort of like cliffs).
