DVOA Hibernia Brown course, 3.3 km, 69m climb
Not clean to 2, 6, 10; relocated on 8 from the stone wall segment to the east. Forgot to take splits at 1, 4.
Didn't feel like subjecting myself to a longer course on this green map; this was plenty and I found plenty of low prickly stuff. But it's another beautiful, sunny fall day with temps in the mid 60s.

ahr:103 max:137
Walked Yellow trail at Sadsbury Woods Preserve, which loops out to where the Compass Quarry was, but we never saw what looked like a quarry, just a bunch of boulders here and there. (No compasses, either.)
We may have missed the better part of the quarry. Someone hiked it in winter and found more rocks.
Woods had large trees but lots of greenbriar and raspberry undergrowth.
We did see a bird whichwe think is an ovenbird birders at the Audubon Society identified as a Swainson's thrush, and a snake which at first appeared to be a garter (black, yellowish stripes) but then it took a defensive posture and we noted more markings than a garter snake usually has. Hmmm.

Started watch late, so track doesn't show from home to intersection where I actually started the watch; calculated at .44 km and 4:18. About 62 and sunny; I wore long sleeves and felt plenty warm in the sun but just right in the shade, of which there was a lot in the uphill loop.

Note
We signed up for the D&L Trail Challenge to support the D&L rail trail which we sometimes bike on. I'm signed up for the walk challenge, 52.4 miles in the month of October. Between my regular walks, orienteering, and hiking, I did at least that in September, even with biking days thrown in.
I have 5.021 miles to count for today. :-)

Shickshinny2 Adv1 course, 4.3km nominal. Started from the top of the hill east of the powerline break, on the northern big ridge in this area.
I had planned to use UsynligO along with the map but realized about halfway through the drive up that my phone was sitting on the end table in the living room.... So I had to be sure where I was and actually find the circled features before taking a split. ;-) (or relocate the regular way)
The woods were just as nice as they've been before (except for one place with greenbriar, but you can stomp it down as you go), and I enjoyed this course which took me a few places I've been before (around #9, for which I'm glad, because I keep getting mixed up there) and a number of areas I hadn't visited yet (11-12). To get from 11-12 you have to get past a very long, high cliff or a very loose-rocky spur...I climbed up the reentrant around the spur to get to the less scary other side.
En route to the last control I saw a couple-foot-high stone wall along the trail (probably old access road), very well made. And a neat looking spider whose web I had to move to get past it on the trail. (The one I saw had a yellow back, not orange, so probably a male, considering the photos at the link. This spider is also called a Halloween spider. ;-)
Not sure about the depression at the last control, though I saw a likely candidate; and I didn't actually reach the trail junction for the finish, but I was close.

Since I had time before the two hours agreed on, I headed out on the Bonus map (1:7500 blowup of the detailed area along the road to the active quarry which is off the east edge of the map), starting at the mapped finish (same as the Adv1 course) and working backwards...9-8-7-6, then decided I didn't want to descend and climb to the next ridge to go for 5 but instead tried to find #2. I think I got far enough down the ridge but not sure I ever saw it. It wasn't far from the main trail/road, though, so I dropped to the road and headed back to the car.

Lehigh Parkway main trails from Bogert's bridge, while Glen ran some of the bike trails. My loop was *almost* 4 miles...maybe next time I'll walk across the covered bridge and back. Wasn't sure about the bridge at the north end being crossable, as it had some damage from TS Isaias, but it's passable to pedestrians; just no cars as yet. Around 66, light breeze, partly sunny. Nice day.
Not as busy as it could be, but I did notice a large group of people (30-40) at the Police Academy. Then a few minutes later, what sounded like gunshots (celebratory salute? there's an indoor shooting range nearby too).

A lot of hips...openers and stretches including ways I don't bend anymore. ;-)

Perkiomen Trail at Green Lane, while Glen rode mtb trails. Upper 70s and a bit humid, so I enjoyed the breeze from doing the rail trail rather than working up a sweat on mtb trails. :-)
