The pavilion.
The pavilion.
Kuon, Mike, Joe.
Marvin and Illia checking out the software that handles results, I think.
Jen holding up the stake that anchors the tube with the control flag to the ground. Easy to miss during control pick-up if you haven't been explicitly warned to look for it. Ruth, Charlie, and Bob.
View of pavilion looking out toward the peninsula point. Finish shoot being setup; flags still on the ground.
View from the pavilion out toward the controls. You have to get to the dark green before you can expect to find any controls. The distance seemed much longer on the way to the finish than it did on the out.
Evghenii, Harley and Karla (backs to us), Vadim and Joseph. Checking receivers. But it's all messed up. Evghenii is checking his heart beat with a stethoscope. Harley and Karla are looking away from the transmitters, having adopted the Chevy Chase philosophy: the shortest path between two points is a straight line in the opposite direction. Vadim and Joseph have assumed a posture which they started on the hour and will hold for exactly one minute and repeat every five minutes in observance of a ritual prescribed by their chosen minor deity "MOE".
Dale, Scott. Setting up the finish shoot.
Nancy, Jen, James
James. Gainfully Employed as a Member of the Volunteer Team and Official Bearer of the 2016 US ARDF Championship Smiles. "When I pull on the side like this it's called the 'mischievous-smile'".
Harley being treated by April at the aid station.
Greg.
Ruth, Alla, Lori.
Bill.
Vadim, Joseph. Joseph is directing Vadim in the next-gen receiver design: "The coffee maker circuit should only turn on if the receiver has been turned on between 0600 and 0800 and only if it senses that the cup is firmly connected to the adapter."
Illia and Evghenii.
Vadim: "Now that Joseph is gone, I can concentrate on circuits that actually make sense for ARDF: the distillery circuit!"
Jerry, Lori, Ruth, Joseph. The picture is a bit blurry when zoomed in but it's such a good picture otherwise and I have no better one from the dinner.
About one third of the beautiful panorama seen from the pavilion.
