Mississippi Bar, on the north shore of Lake Natoma, has beautiful views as well as terrain that ranges from complex rock piles to shady, wooded oak hills. And there are some of those fascinating rock piles, left over from mining, that can provide some complex problems for advanced orienteers. Dan Rathbun will be setting his first courses for GCO and they should be challenging! He is planning to provide White, Yellow, Orange and several advanced courses (Perhaps even all four!).
