The Gilbert Lake
Score-O was held in the rain/snow/sleet on Saturday, November 16, 2002 at
Gilbert Lake State Park, Laurens, NY,
about 13 miles northeast of Oneonta.
During the prior
weeks Verna Engstrom-Heg (CNYO Oneonta) had single-handedly surveyed the entire
park for fifty suitable and challenging control sites and hung 40-, 50-, 60-,
or 70-point orange-and-white control flags. On the morning of the event Gary
Brackett (CNYO Oneonta) pre-ran the course to vet it and dusted snow off the
flags so they would be visible.
Starting at
At the shout of
"Go!" it was apparent that it would be an interesting contest, as
orienteers scattered out in all directions from the pavilion. Punch cards
handed in later showed that nobody reached all 50 controls, but that every
control was visited by at least someone.
Ages ranged from
Emily Brackett, 10, to her grandfather Dickson Brackett, 70+, who hiked around
the lake during the event and spotted several of the 5-point controls.
Everyone enjoyed the
fire crackling in the fireplace and Verna's hot chili, crackers, fruit, hot or
cold drinks afterwards and the colorful certificates she prepared with each
person's name and score written on them. Two new members joined the club before
leaving.
