At Moreau. Up the hill to get to the best stuff for orienteering practice.

Drew some circles on the Moreau map, connected them with lines and did some orienteering. A bit of a control picking exercise with somewhat longer legs (average length of about 300m). No flags or streamers so had to keep paying attention. Kept good contact most of the time and hit things well (or adjusted quickly). Spent some extra time at each of the controls to confirm location (and GPS track shows I found them all) but otherwise tried to keep the pace up. Straight line distance was 3.8 km.

This may be the first time I've actually ever "raced" up on the plateau at Moreau. I've spent lots of hours and been to a couple of hundred sites, but virtually all of that was in field-checking mode. All of today's sites were "new" although I did notice several familiar spots.

Weather was quite nice, especially compared to what it's been for the last several days. Low 80's, mostly sunny and dew point in the 50's.

Hiking back down the hill with a few detours to check out potential Billygoat control sites.
