We will be showcasing a new course this year that promises to be as fast and flowing as years past and provide great spectator heckling opportunities.

No was a small amount that has since melted.

It should be a shortcut... risk/reward

Its like a cross race. We'll start announcing how many laps are left with 4 or so to go. The leaders will finish in the neighborhood of 40 minutes. Everyone finishes on the same lap.

I been told if you find or know where the Kent memorial monument that it's all good. Course is marked and easy to follow.
JUST ONE minor detail. DO NOT drive into BSA park and ride it. That wouldn't be fun anyhow. Enter from the various state park trails to the monument.
I am sure you can get one of the teamsters to roll the park with you also.

Red ballon is area of Kent Monument

 

[KenS]

but will you have a bonfire?

I see what you did there.

Across the street was just enough to be fun this morning. I have to admit I was bummed to see so little snow up there, but at least you aren't breaking out the snowblowers again.
