Slippery day. Roger, Lailah and I went to the museum. Lots of good hands on science stuff to do.
Then later, Lailah and I did the loop to the bike trail and back, this time at least riding 5 feet on the trail before turning back for home. Lots of work for Grammy pushing Lailah and bike back of up the hill, hitting all of the snowy grass patches in order to make tracks.
Also checked out some of the jewelry collection.
A snowy day, so to the pool with Lailah after buying her some snow boots.
Then a chill evening with Roger and Uncle Gary while Sarah and Matt spent the night in Chicago.
Molly, the turtle – down for the count.
A get together with Ann and Megan, after the kids went to bed.
Thank goodness QOC has such good options for epunching backup when I am out of town.
Another October A-Meet, this time in Mountain Lakes Park in Westchester County, NY.
Stayed in the wonderful Laural Cottage, courtesy of the most excellent meet director, G. C.
There was a small pond outside the back door, and I relived a part of my childhood by taking a rowboat out for a spin.
For the event itself, I spent a bit of time putting out the O-Lynx radio controls. The woods were wonderful!
The TV results displays are looking quite good with the O-Lynx results display.
And, since we were in the same place for two nights, I left the displays setup overnight, just covering the TVs. OK, when the wind was howling during the night, I was a bit nervous, but all was well in the morning.
A good event, and I would will work with HVO/WCOC again in the future.
Hitting the road for Rochester, New York area for the 2014 US Nationals (Sprint, Middle, Long Orienteering Championships).
The schedule was:
Sprint – Friday – Genesee Valley Park
Long – Saturday – Letchworth State Park
Middle – Sunday – Letchworth State Park
Will it all fit into the O’Mobile?
Not quite. Had to go to the overflow space on the top.
Stayed at Jellystone Campground in a cabin. Thin walls, but it had three bedrooms, one for each of Amy, Sandy, and me. Perfect place to stay, though we weren’t around very much, getting an early start each day.
Took time to meet the local guy…
Was almost run off the road by another one…
Had a great shelter to set up in at Letchworth SP.
Made for easy unloading and loading.
The results displays are four tv sets these days.

It is pink!! It was supposed to be purple, but they didn’t have one in stock.
So, pink it is!
Lailah is very pleased with her pink bike, even if she insisted that she wanted purple. The power of instant gratification.
Many trips around the block, some in the rain,some I biked, some I walked. Lailah is a natural, and has the braking down already.
