Absolutely beautiful forest. Extremely fun.

I let Ian start before me so there was at least a bit of pressure on him to stay ahead and a bit on me to catch him.
Caught him at 4 and told him to stick with me and watch how I orienteered.
Then I let him lead a few legs and gave him some feedback, until I stopped focusing on the way to 8 and lost contact completely. Ugh. Yes, maintaining focus doesn't just happen, Greg.
The forest was really open, runnable, and fun. But it wasn't too open, which I really like. It felt much more pure that way. Natural. There were sections of dense saplings, rocky ground, and other obstacles. But that just makes it more interesting.
Once I can get more people out here, this will be a really good area for some one-man relays to work on high-pressure situations.
Control Count: 221
