| 1. | +01:00 | what should have been an easy run to the wall, wasn't. Not sure why | |||||
| 2. | hit the marsh by the trail thought of looking for the indistinct trail going along the line; followed the water features to the large swamp to the nw of the circle instead and and read the knolls in | ||||||
| 3. | right of swamp to tail like swamp to the south; almost missed it as swamp appeared to go farther than mapped | ||||||
| 4. | straight thru green then across linear swamp figuring to relocate on broad spur. Found ruined wall then indistinct trail which was blazed, then small marsh (which had a control) | ||||||
| 5. |
Underrated difficulty Ran too fast Bad map reading Bad compass work Confused parallel features +04:00 | crossed swamp before swamp junction, and misread green on spur for green near the circle. Took too long to figure it out and relocate | |||||
| 6. |
Did not like map +00:15 | cross stream, collected by semi-circular marsh, ran east side and went off tip. Hit an unmapped hunter stand on the way and hesitated figuring it was the mapped one at first | |||||
| 7. | up the hill then straight at the knoll figuring it was big and the slash would catch. Easy to spot the tree | ||||||
| 8. |
Did not like map Bad compass work +00:45 | down the property line, think I find the trickle and small reentrant but miss left drawn by an unmapped rootstock. Caught by wall. Not sure what that mottled green is | |||||
| 9. | down wall eventually pick up rootstock and boulder at base of hill. Excellent visability. | ||||||
| 10. | Looks like a tricky one, carefully pick off features on the way while trying to maintain some speed downhill | ||||||
| 11. |
Underrated difficulty Ran too fast Bad compass work Confused parallel features +01:30 | made a parallel error got in the saddle with the rockpile to the east after mistaking the trickle stream junction for the real thing | |||||
| 12. |
Ran too fast +01:30 | considered the trail but went straight. Plan was run hard and use wall corner but had trouble finding the wall as it was farther in than I expected. Hit the formline basin but still missed, was caught by the pine grove to the se | |||||
| 13. | handrail along swamp | ||||||
