| 1. | +05:13 | Screwed up my compass bearing and hit the trail on the E-W portion rather than the N-S portion. Shooting off of this caused me to end up near the stream. Had a difficult time relocating because I was looking only in the immediate vicinity of the point and did not see the stream. | |||||
| 2. | +01:22 | Drifted right and lost a bit of time determining which way to go once i reached the stream. | |||||
| 3. | +12:20 | My initial bearing was thrown off by something and I ended up passing the point to the south. When i turned around I ended up to the NW of the point. Looking back I should have gone to the rocky portion of the stream and gone from there rather than trying to head straight to the point. | |||||
| 4. | Eck and I were neck and neck at this point. Ended up drifting right after crossing the stream | ||||||
| 5. | Just tried to get to the open area as fast as possible. Once I got to the boulders i just kept following them SW until i got to the last one. | ||||||
| 6. | +00:09 | Cut through the open forest to the stream and headed N skirting the light green. I was looking for a gully on the other side of a peak. | |||||
| 7. | +01:40 | I hate cutting through green. Drifted left this time and was a bit confused as to where I was when I entered the large patch of open forest. Went up until I saw the point. | |||||
| 8. | +00:19 | Ran SW until I hit the trail and used the turn as an attack point. | |||||
| 9. | +00:22 | Went down to avoid running up and down reentrants and cut in at the second big reentrant | |||||
| 10. | +01:28 | Long point. My plan was to follow the stream north, cut across the road and the small stream, then cut low across the spur, cross the other stream and handrail it until I hit the point. | |||||
| 11. | +00:03 | Followed my compass. Speed walked up the hills and used the cluster of cairns as an attack point. | |||||
| 12. | +00:33 | Another compass leg. Tried to use the stream N of the point as a handrail, but the point was a bit too far away for this to be effective. Almost ran past the point. | |||||
| 13. | +00:39 | Another long leg. Plan was to run E until I hit the road the second time and to use the larger reentrant to the W of the point as an attack point. Ended up drifting a bit further north than I had planned, but had few problems getting to the point. | |||||
| 14. | +00:14 | Compass | |||||
| 15. | +00:09 | Plan was to use the compass and use the hill top to know when to start looking around. | |||||
| 16. | +02:31 | Messed up here. Decided to try and follow my compass but ended up drifting right and the going was tough. Should have cut through the open woods to the SE. | |||||
| 17. | +08:32 | Messed up again. Ran down hill and did not really follow my compass. Noticed that I had not crossed two streams which should have triggered alarm bells, but I drove on. Ended up crossing the trail at a bridge, which should have allowed me to relocate, but again I ignored it. Ended up in the open area to the SW of the point. Had a difficult time finding the point after I had relocated. I felt that the area around the point was undermapped. | |||||
| F. | +00:05 | GO CONTROL. Took a non-ideal route and lost by 5 seconds. |
