  • Memberships are $30/year for family and $20/year for individual

Format

  • Standard X-Country meet, courses offered: White, Yellow, Orange and Red.

Directions to the start:

  • From the North: Take I-70 to Exit 41 (Hwy 231 - Greencastle/Cloverdale). Turn south on 231 and drive through Cloverdale. Continue south, passing the Cataract Falls turnoff, until you come to a "Y". Take the right fork of the "Y", continuing south through Carp. You are now on county road 50E. Continue south on 50E for 0.6 miles, and look for 600N on the right, at the top of a small hill.
  • Turn west (right) on 600N and continue approx. 3 miles to a single-lane wooden bridge on the right that crosses over Rattlesnake Creek. Turn right at the bridge and follow the one-lane gravel road for almost three more miles to the Rattlesnake Campground
  • From the south: Take Hwy 231 north from Spencer. About one mile after the junction of 231 and 67, look for county road 550N. Turn west (left) on 550N and continue for a mile until the road "T"s into 50E. Turn north (right) on 50E and continue for a half mile to 600N, at the small hill. Turn west (left) and proceed as described above.

Parking & Carpooling:

  • Like our meets at Story, parking space near the HQ is limited. Unlike Story, however, the gravel road leading to the campground is not wide enough to permit roadside parking, so please do not plan to do this.
  • As you approach the campground on the gravel road, you will notice several small parking areas on both sides. Please make a mental note of these, because if the campground space is full, you will need to drive back down the road and park in one of these areas. Be sure never to block a fire road with your car (look for the steel cables).

UPDATED! January 2010 Meet: Eagle Creek West Score-O

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

UPDATED LOCATION FOR START: Because of the snow, we'll be starting and finished at the Hideaway. It's located just east of Raceway Road on 65th. You do not need to go down the hill and the park will plow past the entrance for us. There is parking available in a lot on the left, a few spots at the Hideaway and along the road. See you Saturday!

Format

Score-O Meet: Teams will receive their maps and will have 1 or 2 hours depending on the course to find as many controls as they can in any order. Each control will have a different point value depending on how far away it is, or how difficult it is to find. Winners are determined by points first, then time. Penalties are assessed at 1 point lost for every minute late your team returns to the finish.

Location:

  • Eagle Creek West rowing center field. From Raceway Road take 65th street east towards the reservoir, turn right at the bottom of the hill and then left into the field.
