Bad map reading Not thinking clearly Disturbed by others +01:00 | Only mistake of the day, under peculiar circumstances. Hear fire trucks, ambulance trucks over on Rt. 422; sounds like a dosen or more; there's also some visible smoke coming from ESE. Then it sounds like the county tornado alarm goes off. If it stays on for over a couple of minutes, I reason, that must be the big party at the 2.3 GW facility over in Limerick. I start thinking about what the first isotopes out would be, and what symptoms they'd tag along, and how to tell radiation-induced stomach cramps and vomiting from orienteering and redeye flight-induced stomach cramps and vomiting. In the meanwhile, I mistake the fat brown contour crossing the swamp for a trail, and spend some time running around the swamp looking for it. | |||||
| 9. | Sirens slowly subside. Tornado alarm shuts up. Maybe the isotopes aren't on their way after all. | ||||||
| 10. | |||||||
| 11. | Went through all the crap, almost straight, following whatever elephant tracks available. Ended up attacking from the trail W of the control. It was probably OK timewise, but an unnecessary blood draw. | ||||||
| 12. | |||||||
| 13. | Very carefully, stopping at each junction and verifying the direction. | ||||||
| 14. | ZZ through the "World Cup Terrain" nominee present, cross the stream, a minute or so through the green, then trail over to the fields, attack from the fields. Eric super-simplified this one, going out to the L-shaped farmhouse NW of 12, and that may have been the thing to do. | ||||||
| 15. | Chase biggins on the trail up the hill, towards #17, then a 135 deg. and in using the logging trail for approach. Pushed it hard on all trail runs. | ||||||
| 16. | |||||||
| 17. | |||||||
| 18. | Using the most obvious trail, pushing quite hard. In through the marshy reentrant. | ||||||
| 19. | |||||||
| 20. | |||||||
| F. | Pushed a bit but not very hard. |
