OCAD will not reliably generate contours or vegetation on my laptop, just a series of error boxes, even after a restart to free up ram and trying section by section and not all 14 pieces. This is not a huge area, talking 4 km^2.
Failure to update parallels for Mojave? Some other parallels type issue?

How many really good orienteers does it take to navigate a yellow course to the start? Several, if you are largely off the map, and when you get on the map you are on trails that were deleted for the exercise and a decent chunk of topography is now a gravel pit.

I really enjoyed this course - I thought I didn't use my compass enough, but then I realized how much I rely on it when I've been sloppy to clean up. Huge thanks to Brenda B for being at #1 as I was about to overshoot it but noticed her bright jersey. Otherwise okay, learned that Igor was waaaaay faster over the hill down in the SW portion than I was going around.

Igor did really well, tying Kevin in the first loop. I charged aggressively to #1, going straight while Syd started on the trail. I didn't realize we had differing forks to #2, so I was surprised when it got silent. I was still ahead to #3, and was quiet to #4 when I started to hear a rustle...crap. Together to hit #5, but she spotted it on the rather green knoll and was kind to point it out to me, as I spun in circles on the knoll looking. Botched #6 by pausing at a saddle instead of recognizing the saddle - Rob and Sydney not pausing was also a clue. Saw them punch 6 but they floated up to 7 and that was the end of staying in touch. I hope I got the right #9.
Going fast for those first 6 minutes was really fun, I miss it!
