| Hawkins Pond in the western corner of Center Harbor, north of Meredith and south of Holderness.
Nice little place, had it almost to myself - one guy out fishing and a couple of loons having a good time freaking me out with their eerie calls. | ||

| Picking up the rest of the controls from Sunday's event. Moderate temps and some humidity.
Wasn't pushing it too much - have felt pretty off the past few days. Not much energy and motivation levels pretty low. Mosquitos seemed pretty lethargic also. Wasn't moving fast, but they still weren't keeping up. | ||

| Putting out the last few contrls just prior to, and picking up about 2/3 of them afterwards.
As I was driving over, the heavens opened and I got drenched putting out the directional signs. Was getting set to go hand the last few controls, when I realized that I'd left the orange box of map casees in the garage. With things as wet as they were, my maps wouldn't survive the time it would take me to hang the last few controls, plus would certainly need them for the event. Back home and back to Ahern, during which time the rains tapered off. Jogged slowly around the loop hanging the controls on or close to the trail. got back to the car and saw that the gate was still closed - and the first folsk, the Ruutoiplds were pulling in. Greeted them and rapidly started formulating a plan B, as the Bundschuhs and Taburs arrived. Ended up doing registration out of the back of my car, then sending folks the 500 m down the trail to the beach-front cabin, where Pete took a clock and a clipboard for a self-service start/finish setup. Low to moderate turn-out, but good response to the courses. With Aanika and Tiivo runnning Yellow and White, all the courses were used, so no effort wasted on that account. Had a few adventure racers show up - they did OK - might have been better if I'd had an Orange level course set, but the sprints were short enough and most controls close enough together that they got through it OK. They seemed psyched at the end and excited that they'd gotten all the controls. | ||
