Come join us for a 2 day A-Meet in the Kendall area of the
Cuyahoga Valley National Park, just south of Cleveland, Ohio. We will be
using new maps (mapped by Yefim Shtempler over the past year), covering areas
that have not been available until now. All maps will be at 1:10,000 scale, with contour intervals of 5 m. Maps will be printed on Teslin so that no map case is needed. The terrain consists of plateaus, reentrants, a few cliffs, open
land, lakes, a good trail system, and has varying vegetation intensity.

The land being used is owned by Cuyahoga Valley National Park
and the Boy Scouts of America. In addition, CVNP and the Great Trails
Council of the BSA are partners for this event.
Commemorative T-shirts will be available for reasonable $$$ And not your grandfather's old cotton tee, either --high tech wicking fabric. Something cool!!! Trust us!!!

-
Antipasto Salad w/Red Wine Vinaigrette
-
Choice of Marinara Sauce or Three Meat Sauce

Choice of two types of pasta
