Event: ROC - Dryer Road Park
 

Worked the Yellow course at Dryer Park with Melissa as a training exercise. I'm probably not coaching her enough on this, so it was a good day to get out. We did well except for the leg that I followed a slightly mapped trail off the edge of the park space...

It was clearly my error for failing to read the map well. I was also using a base plate compass, so that didn't help that the trail went 45 degrees off course (to the left naturally;-)

My lesson was to learn "tan not mapped" doesn't mean it won't have interesting terrain, trail, and the like... We "found ourselves" when we overlooked some homes...

My plan was to consult with Melissa on each leg to ask her how she thought we might go and then offer advice to help her form a good plan.

Also distracting was having the dog (who was less friendly than I remember a couple summers ago), but hopefully she got tired out from her exercise.
