| 1. | straight | ||||||
| 2. | went from the trail north, but dove into the woods at a random point. Overran the control, looking for a hill. | ||||||
| 3. | trail | ||||||
| 4. | followed power line then cut se. Emerged at trail junction. S to reentrant E of control. Over the ridge. | ||||||
| 5. | Used marsh to E of control as catching feature. Saw Sven. | ||||||
| 6. | Ugh. Tried to use hills on parallel line to N of straight line. Really thick, got disoriented without a clear plan. Ended up finding a trail to the E and running it N to the stream, pace counting back and going W. Lucky to find the control. | ||||||
| 7. | Used the trail I stumbled across on the way to 6. It went N to just S of the trail bend. Went N, and climbed first set of cliffs in a crevice. Into woods from trail junction. Saw Scott Turner and overshot the control. Picked it up on the way back. | ||||||
| 8. | Blast NNW with intent of using trail/stream as catching feature. Ended up at trail close to junction, so ran the trail to the W. | ||||||
| 9. | To avoid unnecessary climb, used the trail in blue to the bend S of the control. I drifted west and found the boulder/cliff face to the west of the circle. Went E to the pair of rock faces in the circle. No control. Spent a couple minutes deciding that the control was missing or misplaced. | ||||||
| 10. | |||||||
| 11. | Ran the tiny trail to the N, then straight to the circle. | ||||||
| 12. | I really screwed this one up. Didn't notice the useful map correction - trail went almost to the control. Got completely disoriented. | ||||||
| 13. | |||||||
