Annnnnnd I got a hole in my map case. Tried staying positive but the blurred out area kept getting larger and larger.
Should have printed an extra map.

Once I had to start crawling under vegetation I lost all my body heat and it just went to hell from there. So I called it and ran back to the car. Without a support crew, I have to be much more careful about keeping myself together.
Frustrating for things not to come together today, but that's how stuff goes sometimes. I'm not finished.
