shoes: OROC Spiked
Interesting Green Course set by Mike from OCIN. As crow flies = 3.5KM but the large high school bldg. & the fencing create a much longer actual course distance. The real trick to this one each year is the route choices lots of options. Leg from 50 to 53 ran along Harrison Ave until I got to the N side of the shopping center where I went around the back of the stores climbed a steep bank (fell going up and ingested a bunch of weed seeds) I could see the control as I got to the top of the bank. I did not notice that 59 was in a side gully till I had dropped into the main gully and looked at the clue sheet. From 59 to 44 became easy once I found the old trail going up the hill. From 44 to 42 I ran thru the woods did not use the trail On the way to 55, I went to the east of the bldg. and took the first trail down cutting over to the ditch once the woods were white. From 34 to 47 went up the path a little then cut over thru the woods. 37 to 56 I went straight south after clearing the fence cutting south of the larger pond, took the major trail until the darkest green where there was a trail running south which I followed to the creek. Beat my way along the creek up onto the old road bed and snagged 56. I stayed high on the old road bed and upon picking up a trail looked down and saw 57.
