| 1. | Left of the line, through a fiar bit of green. Trails around to the right might have been better. | ||||||
| 2. | Got a hair too far left halfway, and wound up on top of a cliff I wanted to be below. | ||||||
| 3. | |||||||
| 4. | Bad putting. Got myself to a spot about 80 m NNE of the control, and things looked about right there, and I couldn't figure out why there was no control. | ||||||
| 5. | |||||||
| 6. | Left of the line to avoid having to pick my way through rocks between the cliffs and the marsh. Parallel error at the end, 50 m N of the control site, things looked right and I was confused. | ||||||
| 7. | Intended to go almost straight north to the trail, but due to bad compass work and bad map reading, went NE, hit the green marsh, and was perplexed, thinking I was at the yellow marsh at the southern end of Parker Swamp, but not understanding why I saw no power line, and had crossed no trail. The compass finally revealed the truth, and I was able to go pretty straight from there. | ||||||
| 8. | Got to the circle, then had to stop and think. | ||||||
| 9. | Left around the marsh, going against the traffic on the walk to the start. When I looked at the map out there, it didn't look like it was too much longer to go that way, but now I can see that it was. | ||||||
| 10. | Just far enough right to get around the fight. | ||||||
| 11. | |||||||
| 12. | Doh! Told myself to stay high, but didn't go high enough. Overshot big time, and found a control that looked right, but had the wrong code. Some pondering of the situation revealed that I was north of the S in "Good Spring Mtn". | ||||||
| 13. | |||||||
| 14. | To the right, contouring until I could force myself to climb, and through the saddle. | ||||||
| 15. | Through the saddle again, but then got suckered into following some animal trails and didn't pay enouth attention to the map. Should have goe way moe to the right, because I found myself stuck behaind a big sea of barberry. Had to make a hard right, backtracking somewhat, to get around it. | ||||||
