Bob and Dick are keeping their location secret. We can assume they are 
using an Orienteering Cincinatti map. Orienteering clubs don't keep 
their locations secret, but instead rely on an embargo. If orienteering 
clubs had to have a new map for every event there wouldn't be many events.

Orienteering Cincinatti is having a USOF class "A" meet March 28-30th. I 
know from experience that every map OCIN has is just like every other 
map OCIN has. They are ridge/reentrant, with a big reservoir in the 
middle of the map or on one side. There is plenty of 
abandoned/rehabilitated farmland and old barbed-wire fences. There are 
plenty of briers. There may be deep gullies with black, slick soil. 
Everytime I have been oienteering there was springtime and things were 
very slippery.

I'm seriously considering going to the March A-meet just to refresh my 
memory of OCIN's terrain. Anybody else going? This is classic 
orienteering, not radio-o. You'll have to (gasp!) read the map.
