| Note | |
| |
| Most people seemed to enjoy their courses today, although there was some controversy over one control on red, green and orange, which was a ditch end in an area with several ditches. Some people were convinced it was in the wrong place and lost time looking for it, some people found it with no problems but still thought it was in the wrong place. Others were convinced it was in the right place. Strange, because I'd attacked it from several directions during course setting and always hit the same point. So had my vetter. When I was picking up controls I made sure I got the area including that control and convinced myself it was in the correct place. However, the vegetation mapping in that area is inaccurate, which I think threw some people off. |
| Control Pickup 30:00 [1] *** | |
| |
| Picking up controls including the one referred to in my note above. Saw 4 garter snakes (3 within about a 15 second period!). |

| Lecture 2 of the CMC Wilderness course. This was on map and compass, and I was somewhat dreading it with visions of having to learn "shoot azimuths" and ignoring the terrain. I was pleasantly surprised when the instructor talked about the terrain being more important than the compass. Let's see what the field day in 1.5 weeks will reveal. |
