1. | Old Farm Trail suddenly was *not* Old Farm Trail? | ||||||
2. | Hit #16 first, then realized North was at the *bottom* of the map. Yikes | ||||||
3. | Straight across (I was on snowshoes) | ||||||
4. | Straight | ||||||
5. | Straight across the pond. Ames said it had been frozen since November, otherwise I wouldn't have considered it a viable route choice. | ||||||
6. | South, missed the new path, turned near the hut, across the Open Slope, by 16, went R at 16, kept L at the Y, and found "130" at the reentrant instead of "133". Barb Bryant, whom I'd passed on the way, noticed that #13 was also control # "133", so I punched. | ||||||
7. | Took the path the whole way, since I had become unsure of exactly where I was on the path. | ||||||
8. | Took the 1st turn on ZigZag. | ||||||
9. | Went up Open Slope and in. | ||||||
10. | Up Open Slope, but at 17 got disoriented and followed noncompetitors on the long ZigZag loop to the right. Upon rejoining the Open Slope, I slogged up. | ||||||
11. | Briefly went off the foot trail, then rejoined it. Very fast sliding, even in spite of snowshoes' teeth. | ||||||
12. | Whee! | ||||||
13. | Via 14, 13, control #5, and the Old Logging Road. | ||||||
14. | Straight | ||||||
15. | Up the unmapped snowshoe trail, saw #15 before I saw the trail it was on. | ||||||
16. | Leaving #15, got a bit disoriented near the buildings. The "Workshop" wasn't on the map. Went briefly East from signpost 5 before returning to signpost 5 and going on the trails W of the Pond. | ||||||
17. | Due E to the Wapack Trail. | ||||||
18. | On trails, pausing a bit near the parking area. | ||||||
