control pickup at Miami Whitewater. I'm counting this as walking rather than orienteering, since I was pretty familair with the locations. But it is an intricate area. and I had to use the map some.
It was interesting to see how the circuitous tracks I made when setting out controls might have drawn some people off. In some places, there were some pretty major groupings of tracks from control to controls, but other places it was amazing that I could get within 20 or so meters of a control before tracks started converging from every point of the compass.
I was really surprised to find one major convergence of tracks on a ridge line 100 meters or so from a control, and not really a good attackpoint, eg not in a saddle or a hilltop, just an intermediate point, but tracks converged from at least four different directions, and the snowy footprints made an interstate along the ridge, in the least logical direction for attacking any control. Hmmm.
