Registration open: LBJ Dillo-Goat!

Different format, maybe even more fun: Mass start, following is allowed, skip a control, first one across the line wins for each course. It’s barebones, so no awards, just navigational fun. All this for $5 ($3 e-punch rental required if you don’t have your own.) This terrain is tough, though… http://ntoa.com/lbj-grasslands-dillogoat-2023/
