| 2. | D | P | 4 | +05:00 | Halfway there I was right on, perhaps drifted a bit right, ended up in a boulder field. Should have been easy from there, but ended up circling, lots of marshes, not sure what was going on, but relocated eventually on a large marsh w of the control. | ||
| 3. | P | D | P | R | 3 | Fine. Could read the terrain well, in contact all the way. | |
| 4. | P | D | P | R | 2 | A couple steps into the green and then bailed out to the trail. Easy approach from there. | |
| 5. | P | D | P | R | Another good leg. Shaded right to pick up the trail before the junction, read the land fine. Passed some people in the last 50 m or so. | ||
| 6. | +00:15 | A little low, bumped into the stream, then headed right and up a line. Not bad, but not accurate either. | |||||
| 7. | P | D | P | R | Very satisfactory. Aiming for the rocky reentrant I had passed going from 1 to 2, not hard from there. Thought I saw a flag on a hill, but it was an illusion, looked at the clue and realized it was in the reentrant beyond the hill. | ||
| 8. | P | D | P | +03:30 | Fought my way across to the second trail, going by #3 in the process to avoid some green on the beeline. Got hung up in thick laurel patch for a bit, then got easily to the circle, small reentrant surrounded by knolls, but couldn't read the tiny details in the circle. Milled around with a couple of others, never more than 30 M or so away. Found it more or less by accident. Not sure how much magnification I would need to see what was going on there. | ||
| 9. | P | D | P | +02:15 | Another shitty control. Clue was spur. Center of circle was a reentrant. Where was the bag? Hard to say. I went to the spur beyond the control, obviously nothing there. Heading back to relocate on something and found it. It did not appear to be on a discernible feature but had my number, so punch and go. | ||
