Orienteering 14:47 [1] 1.31 mi (11:17 / mi) +35m 10:25 / mi
Somewhat exciting control pick up, as I approached my first control to pick up there was a guy standing right at it with two biggish white fluffy dogs. I told him to pardon me, but I needed to take that thing down, pointing at the control, not expecting him to understand what I meant by 'control'. So then he asked if I were taking them all down, I explained yes, they were part of a running-race type even this morning. Then he said something like, "Oh, so they're not part of some building project? Ya know like over at place X where they are doing Y. I thought they might be, so I was taking them up and putting them in trashcans. There's one in that one over there and one just down the hill that way."
Righty. I pointed out the little yellow thingy on them that explained they belonged to NEOC, an orienteering club, and the phone number he could have called to find out what the heck they were doing there, but he didn't seem that apologetic, or like he was sorry he just missed that obviously there piece of info. At least he told me where he threw out the controls I was supposed to collect!!
