I knew you'd have an old HUAHH picture or two lying around, we all do. The star course, for the others, is a land navigation course that zigzags through the sandhills in North Carolina, flat with no terrain features and only a few dirt roads (which aren't always correct on the map)

. You have 5 hours to find 5 points on the ground, you start in the late afternoon and continue into the evening (to insure you have to find some points in the dark). You'll cover anywhere from 22 to 30 kilometers during that time (depending on which lane you draw) more if you get lost. I only did it once and that was enough, ran the entire thing and finished with only 20 minutes to spare. It's a must pass event for us to get into SF. Can't garuantee I could do it again today.

Unfortunately I won't be able to get any up till I get back in July.

Thanks DA we all had fun with everyone saying "hey I remember that!"
