From the Angler's Inn parking area, to Bear Island, in Great Falls N. Park, MD. We did a "star" route where Peggy and I started from the center of a 1:7500 scale map with pre-printed controls and alternately set each of 10 controls in a circle. After setting each, we'd return to the center before setting the next. After we'd set 5 each (mine were odd numbers), we ran out to pickup each other's controls again returning to the start before going to the next. The setting was much harder than picking them up in the flat technical terrain. Without the ponds, I'd have been lost. Even returning to the center 10 times, I still managed to not always hit it right. We jogged back after finishing near dusk. It was much needed technical training since I'd not been on anything very difficult since spring. My hamstrings feel sore and my right achilles is a bit tight. Weight 168.
