Rotary Sunshine Camp - Red - First time on the map and thought it was great. New terrain + unique terrain to the Rochester area.
Used my compass more than I usually care to.
#1 - went left. was too far committed before I realized there was a choice. Rain started hard right as I entered the woods.
#2 - faded to the right after crossing the creek and wound up following the trail for most of the way. Pulled up early at a reentrant that didn't seem to be on the map. No one to blame but myself for that....
#3 - nice leg
#4 - Started to notice that it was really raining hard once in the field. Not sure but I think the controlled burn took care of a bunch of thorns? No problems on this leg
#5 - stayed low and the dark green was not too bad
#6 - Kept looking for the fenc ebut never saw it. Drifted right of the line and into the white woods sooner than anticipated. But it probably worked out for the best since it was pretty open
#7 - hit the N end of the clearing then decided to cross the creek at the trail. Took off from the bend. Cool features
#8 - Drifted off the line, but this time to the left. Was on the indistinct trail ealry but didn't believe it was the right one.
#9 - got cute and cut across the swamp - which was fine. The problem was that when I got up the hill and hit the trail, I had not idea how far off the line I was. I headed south but got caught up on the plateau and had to relocated back out to the trail. Probably lost 2-3 minutes here
#10 - executed my plan and line well, but should have aimed more for the corner of the property before going into the field
#11 - pulled up just a bit soon and to the right. Lost maybe 30 seconds
#12 - good clean leg
#13 - Was very cautious on this leg and went pretty slow. Was unsure of my location several times (even on the trails), but fortunately was not too far off line or my intended route.
#14 - went right
