Saturday, March 26 saw the return of night orienteering to QOC after a 3-year hiatus due to COVID. On a cool, but dry, evening (after a day that had a repeating sequence of sun, snow, and rain) at Prince William Forest Park Happyland, we had a good turnout with 91 starts, including 25 groups. Vido Aleksiev’s courses were challenging (mostly due to deadfall) but well-received. We had great support from a number of volunteers. My co-Meet Director, Tim McCormick was ever present, helping with set-up, parking, registration, and even a short course run. Debbie Pederson, Jody Landers, and Charles Carrick assisted with parking. Cecilia Landers also assisted with registration. And of course, our ever- faithful time-keeping, epunch crew of Amy Louden and Valerie Meyer were there to handle starting and finishing chores. A special thanks to Amy for arriving early to set up and staying (very) late to make sure the late participants arrived safely (45 minutes after course closing) – and for the Famous Amy (not Amos) cookies. Thanks also to Greg Lennon who stayed late in case a search team for the overtime orienteers was needed. The Night-O controls were picked up on Sunday morning by Paul Hession, John Baker, Vido and Diana Aleksiev, and Gary and Ginny Quam. A special thanks to all you Marylanders (and Northern Virginians) who endured the terrible traffic to get there. Oh, did I mention the deadfall?
Bill Wright & Tim McCormick, Event Directors
