Blue Hills Traverse. From QRT, I lost ~15 minutes on #19. First attempt was to go up on the trail to the little knoll, then contour around. Failed. Second attempt was to find matching yellow area. Failed. Third attempt was to relocate from a stone wall. I knew which one it was (the one NNW of the control, pointing into the circle), but missed again. Fourth attempt was to bash to the trail on top, come in from S from the trail junction. Missed again. Fifth attempt was from the stone wall to the West. Buoyed by having seen Dean and asked him whether he found the control with the correct control code, I attacked from the S end of the wall, and this time, I found it. I had some choice words when I arrived at the flag.
