| 1. | Time Lost: 00:05 | checked out the pit |
| 2. |
Hesitated Time Lost: 00:20 | contour to northbound wall, up wall to westbound wall, marsh, marsh, hesitated in circle |
| 3. |
Bad route choice Time Lost: 00:20 | stream, wall, pick up knoll marsh w/rootstock. Was stupid and did not cross stream before road and got caught in green |
| 4. |
Bad compass work Confused parallel features Time Lost: 00:45 | try to follow spur like things got low found rockpile then found second rockpile at edge of circle |
| 5. | straight at it hit south end of marsh | |
| 6. |
Lacked confidence | bailed left of plan corrected to muddy area of trail (mapped as clearing), follow marsh, over saddle in spur, contour along, think I lose contact so I, drop down to valley and pick up boulder and marsh. |
| 7. |
Hesitated | Road run, off pond, pick up clearings on left and then clearing on right. Hesitated for poor visibility, felt spur should be mapped light green |
| 8. | stream junction find boulder by stream, excellent visibility - spike | |
| 9. |
Bad compass work Time Lost: 04:00 | did a 180. Heard rumors of rare migratory waterfowl in the swamp to the south and figured I'd check it out while I was here. Eventually followed propery boundry to stream, then went thru green, missed, found the small reentrant to the south |
| 10. | northern wall corridor thru green, down wall to water features, pick up spur, broad reentrant, and rootstock on bank of reentrant. Relief when I see the orange on this one. Incidently, Eric Weyman told me he would have taken the southern ruined wall corrider and map-read the form knolls then long reentrant in | |
| 11. | a little left of straight line to be collected by second east west wall, then off corner and patch of green | |
| 12. |
Bad map reading Time Lost: 01:00 | went left and managed to find the worst runnability woods never even looked at the map, like an idiot |
