Score-O at Ft. Leavenworth. Started later than usual because my son was staying with us. Somehow I got off the map, although I thought I had stayed on the only trail there was, and I had missed control 15. I also noticed that my route didn't jibe with my compass. Then I saw maprunner going the other way (we were on an unmapped power line ride). She told me we weren't on a mapped trail and that the trail was to the right. So I went to the right, found the trail, found control 15, and continued on. After punching 17, and going on to 18, I lost my punch card, string and all. I think it may have happened going down a really steep, rocky, muddy, and slick slope on the trail. I was grabbing for whatever trees I could reach. Anyway, it was lots of fun to be in the woods with a map, and I managed to breathe hard enough to help my lungs clear out.
