Long: felt it was too long/difficult for many (most?) brown runners. Very technical & physical with an abundance of unmapped green & knee-high blueberrry. Walk to the start up the open “Garden of Eden” spur was a decoy! Had a good run (really a “forced march” much of the way) avoiding getting mad at the jungle fight that was often the MO). Compared splits with Charlie - very close for most of them. Entirely missed right path option on 1 - but we were only a few seconds apart. Slight variation on straight was work indeed. #8 was a bit of a bingo cp even having spotted the big bldr. by the trail. Was lucky to have 2 runners ahead to do most of the finding. Ran to #9 with Don Davis. By far most fun was running to 10....

Nice weekend but not utilizing Buckner was most unfortunate. Missed the honking geese landing with a swish on the still water. Also, no WP-sponsored camping. Camped with Jim A at Round Pond Saturday night. The entire campground was empty/available. Control descriptions needed to be in the meet packet. At Sunday start, I was quite irritated when end of clear tape was nowhere to be found in the minute to two before moving to pickup map - took some 1.5’ to get some tape free and poorly utilized at that. Nice dinner in Highland Falls with Jim & Dave Cady (in proximity of the Lyons family).
