Still not done yet, but some things to check out:
1. Photos – the terraloco.com front page has them now for each

Speaking of photos, please [...]

A close 1-2-3 from Will Critchley, Mike Smith, and Magnus Johansson at today’s Merritt College Motala. Then a large crowd came out for Ben Legg’s exciting sprint course at U.C. Berkeley. Ben has massively updated the map and brought it up to sprint standard. Thanks to CHAOS, the Cal Hiking and Outdoor Society, for hosting [...]

Thanks to Magnus Johansson for maximizing the fun in the passageways and nooks of the Old Oakland map for the o-tervals and giving us some fresh legs in the Lakeside Park chase. And Bob Cooley set a fun intro to radio-O course at Morgan Territory – our free form training session where the participants set [...]

So which ISSOM symbol would you use to map this? That’s been done already… but you’ll need to know and understand this symbol to complete the sprint at Pt. Bonita.

For those of you who Facebook, the event page for the Golden Gate Getaway is up. It’s more of a portal to everything else, but feel free to do what you do on Facebook with it.
For me, it was a way to let everyone I know personally that’s it’s happening and inviting them to check [...]

The first A-meet I attended was the 1995 U.S. champs in southern Michigan. Wow. Loved the maps and courses. Had a great time.
