Saguaro Lake 2h Score-O
Yeah, cleared the course with just a few minutes to spare. Did pick up the pace a bit with 25 min to go, just to make sure.
Fun times running around! Some hesitation into control circle, sometimes excusable due to low map detail, but at least once my own fault (on too low of a saddle). Terrain featured few cholla (yay!), not to many nasty wash crossings and was a little rocky, but not bad at all.
Desert-o is certainly different, but still a fun orienteering challenge! Has been fun to get in some SW orienteering.
We drove back through Payson and Pine and finally by the Discovery Channel Telescope on Lake Mary Road. Much prettier drive than I-17 (although that's also nice because you can see Sedona terrain). Turns out, spotty cell service though.
