Nice morning perambulation with Rhonda from our cabin on Valley Creek in Stanley. Left and across the washed out section of road and the bridge over the creek to town, then left down the main drag to route 75. Left again along the Salmon River to the Stanley Museum and home again. Cold, very pretty out. We saw several of what appeared to be semi-palmated plovers scampering along the road.

This was the Brown Z "long" course. Somehow the decision was made that m65 and w65 would be on the regular brown course and all 70+ would be on the shorter one. Beautiful day at Trap Creek, fairly intricate terrain and lots of deadfall was to the advantage of someone like me who was mostly walking, as running was so impeded. Anyway, I ended up first in M70, although the redoubtable Sharon smoked me by over 5 minutes. Two minor bobbles in the circle, maybe 20 seconds each, and one real clunker on the next to last control that was worth about 2:15. But others had problems, too. I certainly had no expectations of a medal.
