Started off clean, skipped 7. Picked up the trail coming out of 8 and made good time to area of 9. Overshot control and did extensive search past it. Probably lost 15 min and dropped way back in the standings. By myself after this. Another loss of contact at 12 and had to relocate off the end of the stone wall. Not a good route choice to 13.

Took to the road to 15. Decided not to cut by the house and went up the road under the power line instead. Got deep into the floating marsh, punched thru several times. Really dicey across almost 200 m of swamp. Sucked up another 15 min on this choice.

So what else? oh, sloppy on the short leg to 17 and relocated back off 16.

Not a satisfactory excursion. Not the least of which, got whomped by ski-o.

Finally broke down and went for a run this week. Have really had a full schedule, and felt the need for recovery time. Free by mid afternoon, so decided to run. Temp hot, however, so took it easy as it was pushing 75F.

All day timber survey with forester to evaluate property for current use plan. Long term plan (40 yrs) for regeneration and harvest. In exchange for agreeing to developing a productive (read occasionally logged) forest, you get a tax break on the land. Part of plan is to develop additional access roads across upper elevations, which just might end up covered with snow in the winter.
