Event Write-Up

By Lubomir Šebo, Event Director

About 128 participants came to this year’s BAOC event at Coyote Lake – Harvey Bear Ranch County Park.

As in previous years, Tom De Vre designed and set eight courses with the help of Theo Verhoeven, on the map expanded and corrected by Misha Kreslavsky, who also vetted the courses.

Beginners enjoyed the park’s great views and its fantastic beauty. The Advanced courses started and finished close to the Coyote Lake Dam. The Blue course reached a newly-mapped part of the park that had never been used before.

Special thanks to Park Rangers Will Bick, Brandon McDaniel, and Patrick Semple for their help during the permitting process and the event-day support.
