Undecided in the morning as to whether to even show up, but the weather was nice, so I decided I might as well jog around the course. Kind of felt like I just phoned this one in, just moved at the same slow speed the whole way around. Took the right fork at the very beginning (along with very few others, and came in from the trail junction to the north. Came across the hilltop, and saw a line of people coming out of the control, but the mutterings and body language of some suggested that they hadn't been to the control. I think I got within sight of the boulder, but didn't see a flag. Did a loop around, and found a very large boulder that I guess is not on the map, just south of where I subsequently found the control. | |||||||||||||||||||

Encountered Adam Rudner, who was relocating so that he could go to #4. Saw a bunch of other people who seemed to be leaving #5 in a weird direction. Then I spiked the control, but it was... #6. At least I knew where I was. I seemed to get getting into a bad pattern. On the way to #5, I of course saw a bunch of people who were really going to #6. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Pretty much on the line the whole way (slightly on the left side for a stretch to follow the road). I think I passed Scott Turner somewhere near the top, when he went around. I correctly guessed that there would be deer trails through the green, and came out just to the left of the control; fortunately, Charlie and Phil were leaving it and I went to where they had come from. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Went a little left and picked up the small trail, then headed down the reentrant trail to the control. Left the trail because it was clogged with boy scouts, and caught up to Charlie and Phil, who were scratching their heads, but I knew we had to go farther. | ||||||||||||||||||||

We went left around the pondand just east of the number "24", I went straight while they continued on the trail, and I pretty much closed the gap. Somebody else was at the control, but I can't remember whether it was a Traverser or a Rec. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Got sucked in by the cliff on the E edge of the circle, and stood there looking dumb until Erin and Tracy arrived as well, and Erin figured out where we needed to go. | ||||||||||||||||||||
