Working on lots of tax returns

Event: OCIN - East Fork State Park
 

Challenging Course set by Mike. The first 4 controls were straight forward but you had several route choices. On 5 I choose to aim off and attack from the bend in the trail, did not feel I could hit straight on. (Course was quite green in places) On 6 did the same thing using the pond. On 7 lined up at the road entrance to the cemetery took a bearing and spiked it. #8 made me very nervous I could see me blowing past it and never finding it. I lined up with the 90 degree turn in the road and attacked. Found it mainly because the rootstock was taller than me. Took it slow sped up for #9, overshoot it and hit my backstop, so I was going back to relocate and there was the control had missed it by 20 meters on the other side of a dense green area. #10 hit the trail early than I was aiming for but used compass readings to relocate then onto the pond. 11 was an interesting short cross country jaunt from a trail. 12 I went to the SE trail bend and attacked from there. Very thick with thorns and limited visability. Used the fence to locate it. 13 was a hideous move thru thick brush and thorns. I contoured around the darkest green but it made no difference. Headed for the road on the shortest point to get out of all the green. Then a road run to 14.
