Got stopped before the final exercise of the Harriman Thanksgiving camp by a park ranger who stated that he was ready to give me two tickets: one for going through a group campground and another for off-trail hiking. Oh and the first ticket apparently would have added pedophilia to my record as the campground is used by kids in the summer.
Welcome back to the US, although I hope it's just that ranger.

One-person relay at Polebrook. We had a solid group of about 8 people starting. It was surprisingly motivating to have those people out there even if they weren't competing with me.
Unfortunately there were no streamers out, but it seemed like everyone got along fine without them. Another great session in the woods.

I only got to do part of this excellent course set by Luis Nogueira because of the incident I mentioned in the note. It's a shame. I hope these "rules" don't restrict future training in Harriman.
At least I got to navigate to the area and back from the Tiorati parking lot.
