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.
