Very nice long course on this small town park map, designed by Will Kennerly. He used several butterfly loops to add distance and interest even in the more open park section east of the Normanskill Creek. I looked at the "ford the creek" option from 10-11 but decided I didn't want to chance swimming. :-) I was careful in the steeper gullied forested hillside in the SW portion of the map because I had gone off the map last time here. Also because it had rained and the clay hillside was treacherous. My non-spikes [edit: non-spiked controls] were more route choice errors than difficulty finding the control.
I enjoyed the "tour de Tawasentha" -- hard to come up with new places to go here, but the course was fun even with the off-and-on drizzle most of the day. Good turnout of EMPO regulars.
