Meet Results
Not Such a Bad un’
Badin Lake Recreation Area| 13-Oct-2007 | David Alexander, meet director.
Kings Mt Point in the Badin Lake Recreation Area of the Uwharrie National Forrest is just northeast of Albemarle. It takes a little bit longer to get there than most of the other parks we orienteer in but I thought if would be worth the extra drive. The forest is very open with stands of mature hardwood. The abundance of boulders and evidence of gold mining from the past makes for plenty of point features. The mapped area was fairly small, just the day use area and the northern most peninsula. White, Yellow and Orange courses were offered. The meet was held mostly as a promotional meet in conjunction with the Uwharrie Mountain Festival, an annual event promoting outdoor sports and recreational activities in the area. The hope is to generate enough interest to warrant mapping a larger portion of the National Forest and hold regular meets there. As you can see from the results below, the turn out was pretty good considering the limited courses offered. Look for future meets to utilize bigger and better maps and offer the full range of courses. Thanks to Pam Smith who helped with registration, time keeping and control pick-up.
