Event #6 of 7 in the BAOC 2025 Summer Series

This Saturday event will be our second official event at Evergreen Valley College (there was a training event a long time ago). The campus is surrounded by some open space to the west and Montgomery Hill Park to the east, where some of the first aircraft tests were conducted around the time of the Wright brothers. Thus, the courses will include navigation both around campus buildings and open terrain, with most controls at White or Yellow level, and some at Orange level technically.

This will be the sixth event in the seven-event 2025 Summer Series. In keeping with the Summer Series standards, we will offer Beginner (White), Short, and Long courses.

The White River East Sno-Park event center is located next to Highway 35 at the southern base of Mt Hood.

We will have seven point-to-point courses (something for all skill levels) to choose from. If you camp overnight, you can spend the previous day hiking around White River West, which has many interesting areas to explore.

Legend of the SCARE-O. Last year two young orienteers didn't check back in from SCARE-O. Now locals tell tales of these woods being haunted by a young Darth Vader and a Mandolorian.
Beware, use caution, and keep your wits about you as you try to collect as many controls as you can before time expires...
(And obviously check back in when you finish)

This is a semi-mass start event. Participants will have ~3 hours to collect as many points as possible on the course. Each control will have a different point value. Highest total points wins, and ties will be broken by fastest time. See our website for a full schedule and precise meet location.

Wearing a costume earns you a ten minute headstart.
