Our annual NJROTC orienteering training camp was held at Camp McDowell (between Jasper and Double Springs, AL). It is a beautiful place to orienteer with some nice fields, and great canyons adjacent to the Bankhead National Forest and just south of the Sipsey Wilderness Area.

This was our 10th year for the camp and the 5th year at Camp McDowell. There were about 275 people in attendance at the camp from 20 high schools from around the South. About 200 JROTC cadets went out into the woods learning about orienteering. Headland High School NJROTC with Major Odom is the sponsoring school for the event.

Weather: The weather was a little on the cold side. We actually had around 2 inches of snow on Saturday morning. Mark Johnson, the director of Camp McDowell, says we always bring the cold weather with us. There were quite a few schools in attendance from Florida with cadets that had never seen snow before. Luckily, this was one of those snows that looked very nice for a while and soon disappeared when the sun came out.

Weather: Thursday night and Friday morning was rainy and cold. 3" of rain fell on Friday morning. Temperature was in the upper 30's all day Friday when controls were set. Saturday was breezy and temperature was around 40 degrees and overcast all day.
