Orienteering (Field Checking) 4:24:03 6.99 mi (37:47 / mi) +124m35:48 / mi
From Meadowside Ln. at the Lanthop E. Smith Education Center. I updated parts of the map. I mostly covered the grounds on and immediately around the center. There were parts of the map that I hadn't been to since I originally field checked them in 2008. Much of the map had held-up well including what was originally an intermittent trail. The vegetation changed. I'm pretty sure that someone had removed a lot of what was fight green, and left scattered rough open terrain. One area of pines had been almost swept and the fallen branches were lined-up to make a sort of low fence. I found only one new trail. There were some rootstocks to add and remove. Unfortunately for one significant area where there were white woods, an impenetrable cover of looping thorns had popped-up. There were still some trails to get through and around that. It was quite a contrast to what I'd been newly mapping in recent weeks north of Muncaster Mill Rd.
