Red course at EMPO event at Camp Pinnacle (and the southern part of Thacher SP). A frustrating first control since the bag was hung on an unmapped reentrant about 30 - 40 m from the circled reentrant. I passed within 30m twice but didn't see the bag because of vegetation. The rest of the course was fine except for some poor execution on a couple of legs. More than half of the controls were on or very close to points I have set controls on in the past. It was hot (80's) and the vegetation was as green as it gets, so it was slow going. Pretty beat at the end. Forerunner measured 8.9km (about 1km of which was spent wandering around looking for #1).
