After driving from Austin to Sulphur Springs to Cooper Lake, we stopped at packet pickup and I did the model. I should have worn my gaiters and, instead, my right leg around the ankle got really scratched up. Lesson learned. I wore my gaiters Saturday & Sunday.
I was a little slow getting started, because I knew something was wrong. Duh! I always wear my compass on my left thumb, and I had put it on the right. The only control I wasn't spot on was 3. I was avoiding dark green and was a little too far north, but corrected and went around the south and west sides of the depression. After that, ok. Which was really helpful, since I had such a disaster in Georgia. Although the model went to 14, I quit after getting to 9. The model was really helpful in portraying the terrain.
