Training Log: furlong47

Shiprock Preserve, a new place for me. I'm running out of places to explore that are within 30 minutes. There was only one trail here (it braided/branched off a few times but always came back together) and it was less than a mile long. Mostly just not too interesting woods, then a semi-open area and a bridge over a creek. On the way back I took the opposite branches and came upon a chimney ruin which was pretty much the coolest thing there.

SVO Small Valley Girl Scout Camp - Brown

This is a new map that Brad is working on, so it's still under construction. Trim courses have been installed for the camp to use, although some changes may yet be made to those too. Brad, Roger, and I did a program for two groups (about 6 troops worth) of scouts as part of their adventure activity day. There was also this Brown course available for club members (or they could do a trim course, but nobody did.) Some of the controls were real controls and others were the permanent course posts, which are unpainted wood and could be hard to see.

Everything mostly went ok other than briefly looking too far uphill in another ditch for 7. It was super hot out, though, and a lot of the areas of this camp are in the open. (They removed all the trees around sleeping units for safety, but I can't imagine those tents/yurts/cabins/a frames don't end up broiling in the middle of summer with zero shade.)
