COO / MVOC event on new map at John Bryan State Park. Mapper Alexander Preobrazhensky set the courses, with challenging legs, but incomplete control descriptions (which side of which house-sized boulder, foot or top of which several-meter cliff, what part of the football-field sized ruin, etc), and bags sometimes very visible, but other times hidden by clumps of honeysuckle and other stuff. I count several minutes of bingo-hunting within control circles and count myself lucky that it was not many more.
Cloudy with drizzle and light rain throughout. Wet rocks made the steep slopes of the gorge treacherous.
