| 1. | Across the field to the trail, partway down the spur and saw the likely location. Walt was coming back up the trail as I entered. | ||||||
| 2. | Straight - after coming out of the second reentrant, I was pretty confident of the line. | ||||||
| 3. | Left of the line to avoid climbing over the spur on the way in. | ||||||
| 4. | +00:15 | Angled left from the trail, then a bit too far left as I attacked from the junction. | |||||
| 5. | Ran all the way around to the ditch. | ||||||
| 6. | +00:30 | Continued down the ditch to the ride, straight across the trail. The rough open along the creek was thick in place and I had to cut in and around the control, then back out. | |||||
| 7. | The near bank got ugly, so I crossed the stream once, then had to cross again. | ||||||
| 8. | Saw the correct tree immediately. | ||||||
| 9. | Across the creek on the bridge to the left (couldn't tell if there was a crossing point under the line). Big trail left of the control - almsot cut in too late because I forgot it was 1:7500, but I was trying to cut in "early" so it all worked out, | ||||||
| 10. | +04:00 | So much for the relatively clean run. Got suckered into a dead-end trail just left of the line, instead of biting the bullet and going around. When I finally hit a trail, I couldn't tell if it was a trail or the patchy clearing that was in the control area. I did not completely relocate until I had run the trail west of the control all the way north, then had to retrace my steps all the way around and into the correct area. | |||||
| 11. | Back out the way I came in and all trails and back across the bridge. | ||||||
| 12. | Climbed out of the creek to the road and ran up, then right of the building and left of the pond. | ||||||
| 13. | North across clearing, left of the bridge, then left of both buildings. | ||||||
| 14. | Straight to just past the bridge where there was an easy crossing point. | ||||||
| 15. | +00:30 | Right of the line, but not as far as intended - wanted to go right of the big fenced area, but went left, made for some slow going to get to the rough clearing. | |||||
| 16. | Down the spur to the left - path of least resistance, along the fence. | ||||||
| F. | Try to beat Luke's split. |
