O30 Pickup at Thornell. 10 v 10, still used small goals since no one really wants to play goal. Didn't realize Rob (Stevens) plays pickup as well, until I saw him at the meet.

Red course. Interesting course & very well laid out. Kudos to the course setter.
Hit every control cleanly except for #4 & #18. #4 was on a rootstock farther north of the rootstock (which was streamered) on the map. Didn't cost me much time, found the other rootstock due west of the admin building fence. #18 was in some dense brush and I approached from the N. When I circled back around, it was clear.
Made a decision early on not to try to cross much of the marshes, even though this would have shortened the routes. I violated this decision once to get to #14 since the flag looked to be down at the bottom of a gully, and the marsh crossing was perhaps 20m. Pace on the longer legs was slow, I think due to the heat.
