Trout Lake - WET Wednesday Evening Training

Organizers: Jordan McIntosh (Event Director), Dawn Lessowai (Event Director)

Map: Trout Lake

Join Jordan and Dawn as they work towards their 0100 course requirement at Trout Lake.

Sign up before Tuesday July 11^th at 9pm. Event registration Link.

Event Title: 15 - 51

The numbers 15 and 51 are special because they are the organizers ages. Can you guess which organizer is which age? We discovered that our respective ages make a palindrome as we were discussing results at Sprint Camp. 1551 is also the year that National University of San Marcos, the oldest university in the Americas, was founded in Lima, Peru and Ōuchi Yoshitaka, Japanese daimyo (b. 1507) died.

Can you match the map to the correct organizer?We decided to cut Trout Lake down the middle and make a beginner and advanced course for the East AND West sides. This means two different maps per level! This is a point-to-point course.

Try both maps and then guess who made each one. The first twenty correct guesses will get a small prize (chocolate – sorry, nothing for vegans or the allergy sensitive like myself).
