Orienteering 1:22:01 [3] *** 8.98 km (9:08 / km) +384m 7:31 / km
10c
Had an easy run planned today. So I figured I'd go out to Spackman and survey the damage from the March storms on that side of the map.

Surprised with how good I felt, until I didn't. This often happens to me on this map: I feel great for a while and then hit the wall hard and get very hungry. It happened to me today leaving 11. Since I didn't have much sunlight left I decided to call it a day.
I suppose I'll have to carry some fuel with me while I'm out there in the future.
Cons: Have to find a good way to carry a sandwich bag on me.
Pros: Get to eat gummy bears while orienteering
Map notes:
The areas that were completely destroyed were in the immediate area of PEEC actually. There were other bad parts throughout the forest, but nothing really terrible, and certainly easily avoidable if mapped. I've seen much worse in my orienteering career. I've also updated the map from what I saw. I'll keep trying to make little updates here and there to keep those areas in mind.
There were also new, very dense stands of hemlock and white pine. The areas of 5 and 7-8-9-10-11, for example, should be almost completely light and medium green now. Those are more difficult to map because I can't see the perimeter like I can with fallen trees. Working on it.
Control Count: 111
