Details:
NOTE: This is a SATURDAY event.
If you are new to orienteering or would otherwise like to do the
courses during the daylight, you can come at 3pm for a daylight
run of the white, yellow, orange or red courses.
NIGHT ORIENTEERING AT LEMON LAKE COUNTY PARK.
Start between 5pm and 6pm. A headlamp or flashlight is required!
Courses close at 7:30pm so start early enough to complete by then. There are white and yellow courses for beginners,
an orange level course for intermediate, and a red advanced course
for the experienced orienteerers. If you want to try the courses during
daylight hours, you can start at 3pm. If
so, please register for the Daylight option courses, and you will
still be welcome to come back for a Night-O event once the sun sets.
Meet Director's Notes:
Night-O: The Night-O is located in a county park
known for its disc golf courses. (The professional disc golf World
Championships have been held at Lemon Lake twice). There are over
54 disc golf holes. Map scale is 1:7500. There is ample opportunity
for parallel errors on this course. As a general rule, areas mapped
dark green are impregnable. I suggest not attempting to cross dark
green areas even for a very short distance. Disc golf tees are either
concrete or rubber matted squares and are mapped as small ruins
filled in with light brown. Use caution on the tees as they can
be slippery when wet. Disc golf cages are mapped with the special
object circle. Other special objects are mapped with an X. There
will be reflectors on the controls so they will be visible with
a flashlight or headlamp shining on them.
Directions:
Night-O: 6322 W. 133rd Ave., Crown Point, IN:
From the Chicago area, take I-90, I-94, or I-294 towards Indiana.
Then take I-65 south. Take the exit for US231 in Crown Point.
Turn left at Indiana Ave and go south to 133rd. Turn right and go
about 4 miles to the park. You can also come to Indiana via I-394
and Exchange Road and approach the park from the west.
