| 1. | Through parking lot and up spur, crossing road at top of reentrant | ||||||

| 4. | N to go under cliffs and then up hill, could see the flag from a distance. | ||||||
| 5. |
Bad map reading Confused parallel features Bad distance judgement +07:30 | Aiming to go up reentrant to the SW just SE of control, but went up one two soon. From saddle went up into rough open area, but still thought I was one saddle further, so kept wandering for a bit until I figured it out. Still hard to find the right cliff, even when I had relocated. | |||||
| 6. | Stayed high, crossing spur with knoll on it, then dropping into long marshy E-W reentrant, SSW from there and could see the cliff and the reentrant near the control. | ||||||
| 7. | On compass and contouring, staying high. About 50 M uphill from line at half way, drifting down closer to the line and straight in. | ||||||
| 8. | +00:30 | SSW, crossing under cliff on knoll down to stream, then S to the road, up road to opposite knoll then uphill crossing under rocky spur with cliff, up reentrant, and look for the right knoll. Missed just right and into the sharp reentrant with cliffs, then ok. | |||||
| 9. | Above cliffs and around, probably kind of slow, then NW until I could see the cliff, then uphill to boulder. | ||||||
| 10. | Along ridge to trail and across, through slot between hills and passing marsh on the right, then S to control | ||||||
| 11. | On compass, checking off cliffs on my left and boulder along line. Saw Rich N. near control. | ||||||
| 12. | A little below straight line, checking off reentrants and crossing the trail, seeing the flag from there. | ||||||
| 13. | Below first spur, then over spur with earthbank and straight in. | ||||||
| 14. | On line until picking up trail near corner. Follow trail, although at one point got off on lower trail near marsh. | ||||||
| F. | Across the stream, finding a couple of rocks to step on. |
