Perhaps this month we get an estimate as to where they are and mark it on the template?

I know of the Big Green Box (BGB?) but where the broken concrete is off to the side is a mystery to me. Somewhere up the right hand side nearer the "other end" is all I know for sure.

One solution that I like would be to design a course that can easily be run in both directions. Run the entire grid through one run (so that they're all at the other end), then reverse the timer cables and send them all back through to the other end. Do that 3 times for 6 runs (effectively on two different courses). We should be able to maintain the usual 25-30 second start interval doing it that way no matter how long the course is, so it wouldn't add any time.
That would be different and fun.
Wow, and I ws thinking exactly that before I got to this post.
think alike, drive....diferent. AHHH another opportunity to excell
