2021 January Jaunt - Virtual Edition

For 2021, the January Jaunt allowed us to do something that would be virtually impossible in the real world - we re-ran the 1963 event, using the original instructions! Instead of running on real roads, the rally ran from the competitors' table tops, using downloaded instructions and maps.

Instructions and download links were sent out to signed up competitors on January 9, 2021 at 10:00 EST. Competitors had until January 16, 2021 23:59 EST to complete the rally.

The rally made use of topographic maps, and grid coordinates were used to locate key points on the route. Natural Resources Canada has published a document with background on using topographic maps including the use of grid coordinates.
