Boojum Rock, Stoneham, MA
September 21, 2014
Meet Director: Tobias Karlsson

We had a rather decent turn-out with 98 starts, even with a forecast of rain and thunderstorms. Lucky for us, the forecast of rain never materialized, but that didn't keep us dry since it was a rather warm and humid day. I had setup six courses, but an extra course ("Tan") got created by rebellious participants. The advanced courses had a relatively large number of controls—partly because I enjoy setting those courses, but also as a necessity getting everybody around the numerous restricted areas.

Most participants got to experience some issues with the map not always matching reality, and in a couple of instances even controls slightly off (#110 - on the wrong side of the knoll, #116 - quickly fixed), but maybe even more hampering might have been the unpredictable terrain. Despite all this I hope everybody enjoyed the day and the challenges presented by the courses.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge all the volunteers who helped out. First out on the computer: Jim & Logan Crawford, and Jim Paschetto. Further helping out with setup, registration, storage-pickup, and parking: Pelle Wåhlström, Dorena Nimigean, Tim Parson, Ann Harrer, Bo Nielsen, and Christine Lee. For the pick-up I got help from: Christine Lee, Bill Binette, Jim Paschetto, Richard Powers and Will Daniels. I apologize to anybody I might have missed. Finally, I would like to thank Tim for helping out with permits and coaching me through this entire process.

Found at the meet -- two compasses. Contact the webmaster to claim.
