19th Traverse

A meets, B meets,
no more billy goat,
what could be worse?
the plains of Powissett..

The Rocky Woods-Powissett Peak Traverse
Dover, Massachusetts
Sunday, November 24, 1991
by meet director Jeff Saeger

After complaints of rocks and hills and dense vegetation in the Blue Hills, the final straw of an inability to even have a traverse in the Blue Hills by elimination of the Blue Hills East map by the MDC, a troll suggested to the meet director that perhaps he should look for some other maps to traverse.

A little known fact is that the Cambridge Sports Union's Rocky Woods map and NEOC's Powissett Peak maps share a common border in Dover MA. Since I have tired of watching everyone else have all the fun on this event, I recruited Jean-Joseph Coté to set the course (and Peter Wilson to be recreational courses meet director). So, thanks to all of you for making it possible for me to run.

Ever since three years ago when I talked Mikell Platt into running the Traverse, the locals have been shut-out of first place. Mikell loved running the Traverse so much that he joined NEOC, now he's a local, too.
