| |
| Estabrook Woods meet. Well, I could complain about inaccuracies in the map, or misplaced controls, or the "bingo" controls in flat overgrown terrain where you couldn't see the feature or the flag from 10 meters away, or the 80 deg. heat and humidity that totally dehydrated me and had me walking most of the last half hour ... but my orienteering sucked too. |
