| Orienteering 47:00 [4] *** | |
| |
| Started GREEN course at Lake Maria. Start time was 11am so it was all ready pretty hot. Goofed up on # 2 and spent 28 minutes circling the control until I stumbled upon it. I didn't take water or a snack on the course which was a big mistake. Found #3 but decided to head in for the day. I need to be moer diligent about bringing a snack if I am running around lunch time and definately bring water. |
| Orienteering 1:00:00 [3] 2.6 km (23:05 / km) | |
| |
| WHITE course with Jasper. I actually had to wrestle the compass away from Jasper to check which trail we were on. I forgot to make the map corrections so we were'nt on the trail I thought we were on. After getting back course our progress slowed even more. Jasper was tired from hanging out at the boats all morning and wanted to be carried along with his cup of lemonade and the map. The only way he would walk is if we were singing the Bear song. I apologize to anyone who heard my rendition of the song. I ended up carrying Jasper nearly the entire course with him jumping down and punching the card.
I'm not sure which of us was happier to get to the finish.

| Camped at Lake Maria State Park. Hiked quite a few trails looking at differnt campsites. Ended up at a really nice site overlooking a large pond. Apparently it is frog mating season. We were treated (?) to the LOUDEST frog chorus starting at 9:00pm until well past 2:00am each night. After the first hour or so I didn't really notice them. |

| Hike 1:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Hiked up to the trees we planted about 7 years ago just off the Birkie Trail at Fish Hatchery. Unfortunately t the deer, and the new birch trees that have sprung up in the last couple years have gotten the best of the pine we planted and we could only find a couple little scrubby tees that probably won't make it. It was a great day for hiking around.
I realized that 80 year old men and 3 year old boys hike up long hills at about the same pace. |

| The question shouldn't be "Why did the TURKEY cross the bikepath?" but "Why was he moving so slowly?" I had to slam my brakes to miss a turkey ambling across the bike path on the communte to work this morning. I also saw a raccoon down by the river flats. I need to start biking to work more.
Crossed Lake street went down to the River at Shriners and followed path up to campus. |
