| 1. | Concerned that this might start out badly, but I got up high enough to be out of the green, and spiked it. | ||||||
| 2. | So far so good. | ||||||
| 3. | Straight at it. | ||||||
| 4. | No problem. | ||||||
| 5. | Trail to corner, slight hesitation just before dropping in to the control. | ||||||
| 6. | Way too far left leaving control, hit trail SW of tower (and there was a guy out there in the woods with a leaf blower -- bizarre). Cut in to look for the control a bit early. | ||||||
| 7. | |||||||
| 8. | |||||||
| 9. | |||||||
| 10. | |||||||
| 11. | Decided that this one looked tricky and I should take it carefully. Not carefully enough. Came to a marsh, looked bigger than anything I could see on the map, wasn't sure what it was, but it seemed to have a distinct stream leading out of it. Followed the stream dow, got stuck in some green, then climbed a hill to figure out where I was. Looked like I might be just east of the control, so I went west and found a boulder, but I saw no flag and it looked to far from the stream. There were a bunch of other people milling around. I went down to the stream, and looked back up to where I had been and saw the flag. | ||||||
| 12. | Further left than most people, through the cliffs. Don't know if that was good or not. | ||||||
| 13. | The best running seemed to be straight, down through the reentrant. | ||||||
| 14. | Intended to go almost due S to the trail, but instead went a WNW. Hit the small trail, thinking it was the large trail, and turned right at the junction. Things looked wrong pretty quickly, and I turned around, but had already lost time. Trails around to the right from there. | ||||||
| 15. | Should have gone directly back out to the trail, but instead I went south through the fight, and got my glasses yanked off by some smilax. Dumb. | ||||||
| 16. | Climbed the last hill and got sucked in by the bare rock stuff NE of the control, and wandered around there for a while before realizing I hadn't gone far enough. | ||||||
| 17. | Should have gone to the right on the trail for a little bit when I reached it, but instead I went straight into the woods and took a little while to figure out where I was. | ||||||
| 18. | |||||||
| 19. | Contoured around to the right, leaving me to climb over a bunch of timber debris to get into the field. | ||||||
