Course Setter's Notes
Four point-to-point courses:
White, 10 controls
Yellow, 11 controls
Orange, 13 controls
Green (Shorter Advanced), 15 controls
Trippett Ranch, Topanga SP, is a compact venue of rolling hills, poison oak in some drainages (no controls), fierce chaparral patches and, hopefully, a break from sweltering weather this Sunday. Fun, as usual, is guaranteed. The picnic area from which we Start and Finish, is an oak-shaded meadow suitable for relaxation post-mortems. While there is an entrance fee to the Park lot, there is limited (free) shoulder parking along Entrada Rd.
