Took a chance Bad map reading +05:00 | Took contour out to trail. Was aiming for the lower trail but hit the upper one and took it, so was confused at the 4-way intersection. stayed with the high trail and dropped in from first hilltop. Went up left of large cliff intending to aim off left. turned right at stream and I *think* I ran past the control on the opposite bank. got ~150m upstream before deciding the bearing was wrong and turned back. | |||||

Did not like map +00:20 | Over the top, down yesterday's reentrant, up trail to picnic tables and in. Stopped in the middle of the reentrant. No control. WTF?! Finally saw water jugs on N side and high. This feature is too broad for an A-meet control I think. | |||||
| 6. | Around green, down weak trail to ridge. barely a trace of trail on the ridge. Crossed trickle. | ||||||
| 7. | Through white woods at top of reentrant. Saw unmapped trail below ridge, but went up to avoid the deadfall. Attacked off trail at knoll. | ||||||
| 8. | Aimed off right, then up ditch. | ||||||
| 9. | +00:20 | Found someones map ~40m above #8. Brought it back and left it at 8. (I heard that someone went and got it a few mins later). Trail to saddle, then down ridge. Nice woods. | |||||

Hesitated +00:20 | left of cliffs, then across stream on the down tree by the bend. Drifted left, but pulled up when two army guys ran right - saved me, then went high and counted reentrants. | |||||
| 11. | +00:15 | A little too far right in the saddle. | |||||
| 12. | trail. Cut off through white woods at the end. Saw Pam J here. | ||||||
| 13. |
Confused parallel features +00:15 | Crossed stream on bridge running with Pam, then right to boundary. pulled up short in the first trickle. Pam caught back up. | |||||
| 14. | past corner, up ridge to trail. Saw Peggy D. going up ridge. Told her that Pam was right behind us. She grumbled, and kicked in hard. | ||||||
