Day 2. Got off to a bad start, just not paying any attention and went running way past where I meant to turn in for the first one. When I did go back I got caught in some real thick stuff. At one point as I was about to climb over a fallen log in the laurel, I noticed at the last moment that there was a good-sized black snake draped all over it. "Shoo," I said, and sort of waved for it to get out of my way, but it held its ground -- it was there first -- and I decided going around the log was a better choice. Mistakes, jungles, snakes, all in the first five minutes and I hadn't even found #1 yet.
The rest of the way -- mostly in the green it seemed -- was hard work but reasonably uneventful. Overall, a good workout.
