After 5:30 Mass, what else could Zach, Nate and I do, but head out to the old Permian Sins map that Dick loaned us. As we were on our way to park in the lot near the finish from 8/16/99, we found out that the sheep do, in fact, own that section of Happy Jack Rd. So, we backtracked and parked closer to I-80 and played around with Green controls 9, 8, 7, 6 and 9 (again) from that meet - each of us leading a leg or two. Very different O'ing here - there was basically no green on the map, but much of the white was various shades of green, and the visibility was almost nil. I guess we now know what sage is - there were tons of little evergreen-ish bushes that Nate found particularly annoying.

We saw a sign of the subhumans that Swampfox writes about. They had bagged themselves a metal folding chair and left it for dead near C6. There was also a half-filled water container near the control location (which was a water control), but the container was not 7 years old.

We also got to experience another Laramie treat - as we got to control 9 the second time, the wind, which had been non-existent, kicked up pretty good, and the temparature immediately dropped 10+ degrees. Need to keep that in mind when packing for the Night-O.
