NYARA Races and Clinics

Winter Navigation

South Orange, NJ
25 March 2006


 

Set down your beer (or attach it to your pack) and join NYARA's own Jeff Gattens for a Navigation Clinic. The course will start at the Millburn, New Jersey train station and take participants on a 10 mile journey throughout some of South Orange's hidden gems (and you didn't even know there were any!).

Jeff, learning map skills with beer glass in hand.
