1. | Nice to have this swell new map. My first orienteering course was here in December 1978 (on a significantly worse map!) | ||||||
2. | |||||||
3. | |||||||
4. | |||||||
5. | Never found the trail, I guess I was too high, and hit the road at the end of the marsh. Took the jeep trail to the bridge. | ||||||
6. | |||||||
7. | |||||||
8. | |||||||
9. | Great boulders! Like movie props, only a few inches thick! I loved this control. | ||||||
10. | |||||||
11. | |||||||
12. | Got nervous and turned left, worried I might have missed the control, but then saw the pond down below me and got back on line. | ||||||
13. | |||||||
14. | +08:00 | Drifted much too far to the right, and wound up slightly east of #15. Should have been easy from there, and I hit my attck point on the edge of the circle, but then thrashed around for a long time trying to figure out which contour wiggle was which. | |||||
15. | |||||||
16. | Diagonal down to trail, then attacked from the wiggle just above the control number. | ||||||
17. | +05:30 | Somehow did something very weird leaving this control, and completely failed to read the map, eventually winding up at the house 400 m south of #16. Then straight east to the trail, and everything was fine from that point on. | |||||
18. | Diagonally to the trail along the lake, then up the side trail and up the reentrant. | ||||||
19. | Straight. | ||||||
20. | Straight. | ||||||
F. | Got to the finish and... didn't have my punchcard! Went back to look for it, and encountered Dean, who had picked it up at the last control. |
