From the mysterious map where X marks the spot to the chest full of gold and jewels, the idea of solving a puzzle and receiving a rich reward is still tempting. irishdancer0215 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 05:39:12 GMT http://www.us.orienteering.org/ Orienteering is the sport of navigation with map and compass. It's easy to learn, but always challenging. The object is to run, walk, ski, or mountain bike to a series of points shown on the map, choosing routes—both on and off trail—that will help you find all the points and get back to the finish in the shortest amount of time. The points on the course are marked with orange and white flags and punches, so you can prove you've been there. Each “control” marker is located on a distinct feature, such as a stream junction or the top of a knoll. irishdancer0215 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 05:38:13 GMT
