Two point five maps in works

FYI, there are 2.5 maps in works.
Crestwoods park has been looked at, drawn and found almost good to go. Nikolay Nachev, team USA orienteer is test running a course on it this week. The date of the race most likely will be some late April or so.

Second map - Willows Fjords has been run in and a base map is being made. Two great resources have been found for usage with it:
  1. Switchbacks.com, which provides Garmin GPS compatible map files of GPS-ed trails of Western Washington. It is not the most useful in terms of GPS quality, bvut for overall understanding of what is happening around - it is just great.
  2. Redmond GIS - building bases, roads, etc, - all for download. 
Finally - we are trying to figure out what to do with Moss lake. There seem to be lots of trails, but we need to go there and take a look, the progress on this one is minuscule.
