Event: 2015 Corn Maze Champs
 

Classic corn maze, 20 controls to get in order. I bobbled a few but overall navigated well (no big booboos like the first time I orienteered in a corn maze! It's the scale that gets you.).

Lots of folks came for this event; I finished 23/55 starters.

On the hot side, close to 80 and mostly sunny.

Did fine to the first control, the went the wrong direction (was supposed to head south and I headed northish for a bit until I realized my error).

3-4 was a "long" leg with tricky navigation, with #5 not far past it...and I ran right by the trail to 4 heading to 5, then 6, and in. Realized at download what I'd done. There was only one other mp ... Yay everyone else!

Still hot though the sun was down a bit more.

And there was also a Trail O, five balloons hung within the maze which we could observe from outside including on a viewing platform, but not we couldnt not enter the maze. If you circled the proper location on the map you could get 10 points, with 5 or 2 given for within a certain diameter from the exact location, and there were possible bonus points given as well.

I didn't get any spot on, and got no points on one of them, but warned a few points on the rest for a total of 18 (maximum was 80).

Got them all on the score O, but not in consecutive order for maximum points (odds 31-55 first; evens 32-56 next) to minimize running back and forth which would have taken the whole hour, I think. I did areas, and tried to visit lower numbers before higher ones where it made sense.

A couple route choice mixups but nothing major.

Cooler, close to 70, and dark, except for all the headlamps. :-)
