Writeup

We opened another new site for orienteering in the Phoenix area with our sprints at Papago Park in Tempe. Twenty-nine participants, including 10 cadets from the Dobson High School JROTC, joined us for some navigation fun that wasn't overly challenging but still offered some navigation challenges in a desert landscape within a large metropolitan area. We had to share the space with a fairly large group of unhoused individuals, but for the most part, we had minimal contact between our groups. One control bag did disappear and show up as a trophy at a campsite. Special thanks to the JROTC members that saw the bag and requested its return.

We look forward to offering more orienteering events at Papago Park/Tempe and other sites around the Valley. We hope you'll consider joining us at an coming event. See you soon.
