Dang, I have to work 12 noon - 5pm on Sundays. Maybe the schedule will change by then.

New later time by request, sorry stuart and others that it doesn't work for.

I'll see about attending. I need to learn something, especially this.

sweet, i'll be there

I took a general map class for the company I work for today. I didn't learn anything that would be relevant to orienteering, but I did learn a lot about how to read a Colorado map. Stuff like how the streets are named in certain areas. It's probably stuff that a lot of the natives here already know, but let me know if you want to include any of the info.

If you could run me off a copy I'll be happy to add any info to the 102 without a compass class, but this is strictly orienteering.

Well it is all hand written notes, I'll just make a short thread about it when I get a chance.

I'm getting my son into more camping and hiking and he needs some basic navigation instruction (and I am always looking for refresher's). He's 11 would he be okay to come along.
