Orienteering 5:03:52 [3] 6.9 mi (44:02 / mi) +223m 40:01 / mi
Seneca Creek State Park, MD. From Germantown Rd., Rte. 118, I spent most of the time in the uplands where it is wide open. I was checking and fixing the alignment of point features. It was fun to be in the forest on such a nice day. I only saw 2 people and 2 dogs. The 2 dogs were somewhat friendly though one kept wanting to jump up on me with claws; I got a slight scratch. The dog wanted to stay with me despite the owners calls from 60m away. The owner eventually came and asked the usual questions about what I was doing--she knew of orienteering and seemed slightly interested in the upcoming orienteering event. She told me of a 50 miler that was to come through the area soon. The only other person I saw was just as I was leaving. He'd parked behind me and was headed into the woods as it was getting darker with his bow.
