Cricket Holler Night-O and Search & Destroy-O

December 17, 2005

Meet Director: Sharon Bond

40 people braved the cold and snow to participate in the Night-O and Search & Destroy-O at Cricket Holler, followed by a potluck party. Next time we will remember to bring plates and forks to go with the bowls and spoons.

The rules were simple: a mass start at 6pm, with 1 hour to punch as many controls as you cared to find. At 7pm, the air horn blasted and the event turned into the Search & Destroy-O, where the object was to collect and bring back all the controls you could find. Each control returned was worth 1 point. The champion of both events was Mike Minium, who aced the Night-O in the fastest time, and then brought in 4 controls after pre-positioning himself in the richest area of controls. All this after running at Camp Friedlander at the earlier OCIN event. Matt Bond was the only one to attempt the last-minute addition of the ski-O division of the Night-O, doing it without poles (that he forgot).

Thanks to Matt and Ben Bond for setting up the lodge, to John Betts for handling registration and helping to collect cards and controls as they were returned, and to David Sangrey and Dad for helping with clean-up of the lodge.
