6+ Hour Rogaine Calendar/Map
This page contains a simple list of longer (6+ hrs) US/Canada
rogaines. I limit the list to longer events that you might be willing to drive
a fair distance to attend. Shorter orienteering meets are great events, but you
would rarely if ever, drive a long way to go to one.

Personal/Group Navigation Instruction
I provide personalized navigation instruction to individuals and groups. Rates vary based on time and distance, but roughly $250 for an 8-hour day.
This will include a couple hours inside and 6 hours of actual outside guided orienteering/navigation.

Compasses For Sale

being jostled). I am carrying the most popular model: the (relatively fast)

Virtual Orienteering
In Spring 2020, I wrote an online "virtual orienteering" app to help people practice their map-reading skills.
It's a version of hole-in-map orienteering. Basically, you have two images: one is a map with holes in it and the other is a grid of the cut-out map pieces.
You examine the map and pieces and match them up.
There's a short tutorial on the
website.
