3.7k, 15c orange O course at Nottingcook made for the scouts from a few weeks before. We found one flag left behind. Old memories and new discoveries both at work on visits such as this one. Lots of open, decent woods utilized. Pleased to see that, pleased to see them mapped. Plenty of June bugs but I was pretty well Cuttered up. Tiring, fun O walk. Scout map says 1/7500 yet is 1/10 in readability.

C • Map Scale 2

There early enough that there were no HS kids yet. Did some walking and 1 mile walk-jog in 14:26, good for me these days. Breezy, sunny, perfect June morn.

Started near the nursery, walked thru their planted portion then across the tracks and over the old RR bridge which made me nervous, to be honest. W did fine.

At SPS, along the bike path, along incredibly noisy IS 89 - wondered why bike paths are placed in such devilish places. To the boathouse and along the two campus roads back to the car.

Stopped by College Woods to do the recent UNO brown course (3.1k, 11c). Fine weather for it, walked to just about all w/o difficulty although there were no markers to pinpoint exactly where in maybe two places. Did the course backwards - S/F being superimposed. I got it in my mind on arrival I was crossing the ball field. Got to the 'first' one, number was not #1 (but #11), so decided to do the course in reverse. More open woods than I remembered, esp for full vegetation. Quite a few Sunday walkers.

The same gpx file from Strava imported to AP says 2.54 mi, 63:49. My Garmin 310 gpx says 2.12 mi, 64:31. Seems like a 'go figure' instance - 3.02, 2.54, 2.12 mi depending on which gpx and/or platform/software used.
