| 1. | Left on trail to edge of open area, then in on compass. | ||||||
| 2. | Right to the trail, then came in where the path curved to the right. Missed N. | ||||||
| 3. | Plan upon starting out was to take the trail to the dotted stream and follow the water course to just outside the circle. Along the path, I decided to stay on longer, took the left fork and jumped off at the boulder cluster. I missed left, but feared I was right, so when I saw the hunter stand I thought I was between the two stone walls N of the control. When I arrived at a wall, I oriented the map expecting it to be the more northerly one. When I saw it was the one pointing to the flag, I ran down it to the flag. | ||||||
| 4. | Straight. But I lost count of the spurs, and ended up on a little knoll 100m N. | ||||||
| 5. | Straight, following. | ||||||
| 6. | I thought I was going straight, but I found myself at a little stream W of the flag facing a different water control. I turned around, skirted the green, and found my water control. | ||||||
| 7. | Straight, following. | ||||||
| 8. | Straight. | ||||||
| 9. | Slalomed, staying above the long cliffs. At first I had the idea to drop, but then I realized it made more sense to stay level. | ||||||
| 10. | Straight. | ||||||
| 11. | The approach from the E looked gnarly, so I lost and regained altitude on the W route, arriving by the path through the thick green. | ||||||
| 12. | I started to go right, but then decided to stay L on the long N-S path to get me closer. I left the path about even with the end of the dark green, tried to go mostly due W, but wandered left. | ||||||
| 13. | Headed back the way I had come, around the E side of the marsh, but I hit the stone wall beyond the flag to the south. | ||||||
| 14. | SW to the trail. | ||||||
| 15. | Around on the trail, trying to move quickly. | ||||||
| 16. | Good thing I looked at my clues; my first thought was that this was not my control. | ||||||
