Hanging all but 5 of the night-O controls at Hickory Run. I got a very late start, and only got into the woods at 5:30. Luckily, it wasn't raining at that point. However, when I was placing my last few controls, it was a struggle. At the final one, it was so dark that I was fearful I had misplaced it (at a road/trail junction.)
I am giving myself 20 minutes level 2 credit because there was a lot of schlepping at first (I embarked with all the gear--stands, reflectors, controls, mallet, etc., so I wouldn't have to come back.) It was exceedingly awkward, but I was able to make a circuit.
My sleeping bag storage sack was conscripted to carry epunches which were already mounted on the crossbars, increasing their bulk and compounding the difficulty of finding the relevant one at the moment.

Note
Sandy offered to put out the remaining night-O controls Saturday morning, which was much appreciated.
Note
The Advanced course. It reflects a number of compromises, but I am satisfied with it. It turned out to be surprisingly evocative of the Red course on Sunday.
Satisfied with the results and that everyone finished by 11PM. However, at that time I was already enjoying myself, and attempting to render myself into a state such that I would not be able to join a search party if one was convened. So fine, as some might say.
