Fran found #7! It was at 'other' trail - either moved or parallel error apparently. I hope that Mark found it?
Yes Mark realized that was what happened. It was visible if you took the 'splash' route to 8 (and from the main trail too actually). I ignored it, thinking (not very clearly) that it was from another course.
I wasn't looking for it there so never saw it....
you didn't take that route, you went left the other way
I'm convinced that I spent as much time at 7 as you did. I came up, saw you on the bridge (virtually speaking of course), waited a few moments for you to turn, then you caught up to me outside the vegetation, and blasted by me when I told the two 'map hikers' that the control had been 'lifted'.
Then I caught you at 9 because you took the 'dry route'. We ran together to 10 and 11, but just out of 11, something clicked (thanks Fran for the encouragement) and I put it into another gear.
