Another Geo-Olympic event has been added to the course :D . “What’s the azimuth?” There will also be a display about the history of the Old National Pike. :o :o

I am pretty sure if you look at pre 2005 MGS events that you will see these are not new. Needless to say, it got replaced by just having new caches at the park. I think the games are a better idea, thanks for bringing it back.
