Calero blue course. Botched a number of the controls...
-bobbled a bit looking for #2; lost about 2 min.
-ended up too low for #6 and did a confused loop until I realized I needed to climb more
-on the way to 8 I got forgetful and thought I was going to 9. Arrived at 9 and suddenly realized I hadn't been to 8. Therefore probably could've done more optimal routes here if I had realized earlier.
-10 to 11: hit trail nicely but then overshot the turn and ended up at the fence crossing; turned around
-12 to 13: I didn't really mess up, but maybe there was a better route choice because I ended up wading through a whole lot of pricky crap
-13 to 14: everything was going so well until I got to the final spur, stopped too early (thinking I was one yellow patch further), and realized I had nothing to attack off of. Doubled back and descended to a point halfway down to the reentrant bottom- ran along until I found it.
16 to 17: I saw the area where the control was, but I was convinced there were no distinctive trees there, and it was all 'white' forest. The only distinctive trees I saw were higher up, so I checked them out. Nothing. Finally looped back toward the forest area and found it.
