Followed by others | 6 was up on side of hill that overlooked valley. this allowed a great vantage point to plot path. once I knew where I was going I just made a direct path to attack point. bingo. |
| 8. | feeling good. went uphill to attack from above. reached summit. saw control was much further down hill than I thought correct. went directly to control. it was mine. | |
| 9. | Time Lost: 01:00 | perfect route choice. problem was I stopped on top of bolder that control was hidden under. my vantage point allowed me to survey area. another runner came up to me and puched the control under my feet. |
