Event: OCIN - East Fork State Park
 

East Fork State Park. Cedarcreek set teh red course, which was fun. 10 controls were clustered in a 500 m by 500m area which we very rarely sue. Unfortunately, I missed one of them... an easy 100m leg that I just got too eager to start heading for the next one. I skipped #11, and I remember thinking as I headed for 12, "gee I'm seeing a lot more of that fence thatn I should, I must really have come out a t a bad angle." DUH. But it wasn't enough to convince me to take a closer look at the map and catch my stupid mistake. Would have been a pretty nice run, too. I was clean on everything else.

Probably could have been just a hair faster on the last control or two and the run-in, but decided I'd better not do a final sprint if I hoped to survive the marathon tomorrow.

control pickup. Most were pretty easy.

Red - Splits

planning course, updating Miami Univ. Central Quad map.

Ohio Breeding Bird Atlas. With Wayne, checking PS Nature Trail and WT wetlands (dried up) for used nests from this year's breeding season. Was able to upgrade a few earlier observations to "confirmed" status. Probably can get a few more once the leaves come down.

School O' program. Setting control units, checking on students.

trail / field running - checking on students at school O' program.

Setting controls for school O' program. Also did a few more minutes with the weedeater improving one nasty section of trail.

mostly weedeater. Clearing paths for school O' program. Made a couple minor map corrections in the process. Thanks to Kyle Hertel (chainsaw) and Brandon Langton (loppers) for their help!
