are those out-of-bounds?

also, following your track, on the western area, it seems you are walking on water on a short distance. Since Lattanzi did the same shortly afterwards, i am guessing the water level was a low enough to enable that.

Private properties and out-of-bounds areas.

Where do you see walking on water? The deepest water we encountered was just south of 81, on the way to 87. We crossed right at the power line, and it was about knee deep. Lattanzi crossed about 200 m west of us and was chest deep. Everything else was ankle or less.

@Sherpes, in order to have enough ground for a 24 race without map exchanges on the same terrain (because we don’t have the same elevation you do that would slow pace down), the map is a link up of two major parks, that normally are subdivided into 2-4 maps on their own. Lots of private property inter-mixed as it is roughly a 40 mile long stretch from end to end, with the Waterloo Pinckney & Potowattamie trail systems that joins all together.

Ankle deep or less? I found a knee deep one just in pickup! Was almost refreshing, having overdressed a bit.
