Orienteering (Course Setting) 51:33 [3] 2.0 mi (25:46 / mi) +97m 22:25 / mi

Prince William Forest Park, VA - Course setting some Green, Red, and Blue controls. I carried water, cups and a trash bag to the first one. Coming back I passed through some nice woods.

Orienteering (Course Setting) 25:48 [3] 0.79 mi (32:40 / mi) +66m 25:56 / mi

Prince William Forest Park, VA - Course setting for a single Red control. On the return, I took field notes of a bunch of unmapped rock features. Unfortunately, the notes appear to have gotten lost. A guy at the parking lot, was "skinning" logs for laying them along the trail. He said that removing the bark makes them last longer since bugs don't get in and have a protected area so easily.

Orienteering (Course Setting) 41:50 [3] 2.11 mi (19:49 / mi) +83m 17:40 / mi

Prince William Forest Park, VA - Course setting some Blue controls. I was really forgetful this day--not good for course setting. I left the car and came back a few times because I'd forgotten stuff. First, it was a control that I dropped when it snagged on some thorns. Next, I forgot to bring cups and a trash bag for the water stop. I did find a nice unmapped and wide corridor through what was mapped as slow running. There was probably some sort of road or power line there once.

Orienteering (Course Setting) 1:22:43 [3] 3.17 mi (26:05 / mi) +157m 22:37 / mi

Prince William Forest Park, VA - Course setting for Blue, Red and Green controls. I was partway out on a loop when I realized that I had again forgotten to bring cups and a trash bag for a water stop.

Orienteering (Course Setting) 1:37:49 [3] 2.94 mi (33:16 / mi) +131m 29:14 / mi

Prince William Forest Park, VA - Course setting. I carried water first, and made various field notes for map changes. I found a wide unmapped ride from the pond to near the ranger's house. There was more deadfall I added later. When setting an Orange control that I hadn't been to previously (a last minute change due to park concerns), I realized that there was some sort of drafting error--the map showed a pit near a stream and a marsh but there was no pit.

Orienteering 1:41:27 [3] 3.27 mi (31:01 / mi) +99m 28:21 / mi

Prince William Forest Park, VA - Course setting near Pine Grove. With my light failing, I got to an area with control density and made a lot of needed progress. This went fairly smoothly. I left one of the water controls for later.

Orienteering (Course Setting) 48:21 [3] 1.52 mi (31:49 / mi) +76m 27:32 / mi

Prince William Forest Park, VA - Course setting near Pine Grove. I got out all but 3 controls and really found the last one--a technical controls, by walking in to it, in the dark. I had to rush back home after this for my birthday celebration (this wasn't my real birthdate). My sister and mother pulled-in just as I got there.

Orienteering (Foot) 17:03 [1] 0.71 mi (24:00 / mi) +9m 23:08 / mi

On the way back home from Massanutten Resort we drove along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. There was hardly any color (it has been the worst year for autumn tree color in many years). After that we stopped at Green Truck Farm, off I-66 (an area where I used to pass thru when doing some semi-serious cycling decades back). There was a corn maze there and we all did it more or less together. There was no map, but there were a few quiz questions to guide us. A correct answer would get us to another question post for a while. We only found 3. Near the end we separated as I went off looking in parts of the maze that I hadn't gotten to earlier. I had a sense of where I was since this was on a hillside and I could see landmarks much of the way. After some apple cannon firing, we picked some pumpkins from the vine.
