Bing-O' at Ft Leavenworth

Nice workout at Ft Leavenworth (5/21/16).  Much longer than I expected and ended up walking much of the last part. Earned my Ft Lv Series bike jersey (5 events).  Fuzzy course map; Garmin Forerunner battery wasn't charged up.

16 Feb 24 O training - Clinton Overlook

Bike ride to Clinton Lake this morning.  Towards the end, rode to the upper parking lot at the east boat ramp (near marina) and saw a vulture flying overhead.  I mumbled, I'm old but not dead yet."  Then saw the other half dozen sitting at the top of the trees.  So this is the graveyard for old bike riders...

O Training at Riverfront Park - Feb 6, 2015

With temperatures expected to be in the 70s, went out this morning to Woodridge to do a timed run on the TRIM course.  It was already 45F by 10 am.  Woods were rough and tripped a lot on the branches on the ground.

Jan 24 (2015) Night O

My route from the Night O at Clinton Lake Overlook Park, Sat, Jan 24 (2015).  Route includes time after I crossed the finish line; another forgetful moment using a Forerunner.

Mar 28, 2014 E Fleming O' Meet

My route from the East Fleming Park, Lake Jacomo Meet, March 29, 2014.  Not a clean run, but I wanted to race it hard and got lucky to take first on the Red course.

My first orienteering meets - 1976

I first orienteered at Camp Bromelsick (Boy Scout Camp at Clinton Lake before there was a Clinton Lake) as a class outing in George McCleary's cartography 101 course in the fall 1976.  Don't have the map.
George drew up a better black & white map of Shawnee Mission Park than the USGS photocopy PTOC was using (or was it the Johnson County Outdoor Society?).  He did this in the middle of a geography faculty meeting.  It was a more accurate map for the Nov 21, 1976 meet.  George's cartography students and his Cub Scouts did better than the KU ROTC guys using the USGS reprint.  I copied the course from the master map in pencil (off to the right at shelter #2 on Small Lakes Rd).

Saved kitten from road side

Saved kitten in a pocket.
Dee, Grover Everett & I were biking this morning on the path near 6th & Geo Williams Way & found these two kittens abandoned along the highway. The 1st gray kitten was willing to stay in my back pocket until we got to the corner and called Grover's wife, Carolyn to come by with the car. Headed out again and heard meowing in the same spot and found "whitey" who wouldn't stay in a jersey pocket. Called Carolyn for help. Both kittens are doing fine now and have been adopted by friends of the Everetts.
They're about 4 weeks. Cruel people in this world; they wouldn't have lasted long in the heat, to say nothing of wandering out onto Highway 40.
