LAOC meet at Tahquitz. This map is pretty small, and the field checked part is even smaller, so today they set up a Memory-O. The legs were pretty short, so you generally only had to remember 3-4 features to run them, but there was enough other detail in the way to be distracting. I seemed to do well at getting to my attackpoints, but on more than one occasion I forgot what feature the actual control was on. Only made a couple mistakes, all of them caused by me trying to run away from other people.
Also in the afternoon it rained. Real, visible droplet, clean-off-your-car sort of rain. And then some thunder and hail. Its been about four months since I've seen it rain. It made the five hours of driving totally worth it.
