Slideshow (PDF) What it is terraloco is a small business
managed by Rex Winterbottom dedicated to providing enjoyable
map navigation activities in beautiful parks! If you like to take an easy hike or go
for a vigorous run, I can provide you with fun and
challenging courses on interesting maps. See the schedule
page to find information about public events and the
services
page for information regarding small group outings,
consulting, training, and mapmaking. History I started terraloco in
June 2008. After 12 years of experience volunteering,
directing
events, and setting courses
with the Bay Area Orienteering Club, I was inspired to build
on the offerings of the club and add more opportunities for
map navigation practice and training. I am mapping new areas
and planning and directing training events in local parks.
Some events will feature novel trials or competition with
less of a focus on training and more of a focus on personal
performance. And, I'm continuing to volunteer
with the club. I am originally from Dearborn,
Michigan. Besides being fascinated with maps from an early
age, I enjoy being creative and working with people.
Teaching for 10 years at Corpus Christi School in Oakland
gave me some rich experiences working with a community of
staff, parents, and students. I've volunteered and dj'ed at
KALX radio in Berkeley since 1999. Occasionally, I dj at
local bars and clubs as well, playing many styles of music
from older funk, rock, and soul to the newest fashions in
dance music. In college at U.C. Berkeley, I volunteered in
student ministry at the Catholic campus center at Newman
Hall Holy Spirit parish, helping organize student retreats
and activities. In addition to running with and without
maps, I love to play ultimate frisbee. During this "new
career" I am continuing to teach.
