| 1. | Down the trail to first bend then into woods. Got pushed to the left because of vegetation. Still went through part of slash. | ||||||
| 2. | Straight. | ||||||
| 3. | +01:00 | Thought about trail but wanted to avoid climb so went straight. Big mistake. Slash was bad. | |||||
| 4. | +00:30 | Up reentrant, cut trails to picnic area, down trail to stream. Hesitated trying to find place to cut in to control. | |||||
| 5. | +00:30 | Back to trail, up trail a little bit, cut over to stream. Couldn't read the map. I crossed the stream because the other side was more runnable and I thought the control was on that side. I almost ran past the control but saw the water jugs. | |||||
| 6. | +01:00 | Angled up the hill to trail. Down trail to junction to other trail with circle on it. I was looking for a control on the trail to cut in instead of the dot knoll. Cut off trail to soon. Green was bad so I cut south and into the slash. Ended up going way around on the approach to get to the control. Would have been quicker to stay in the green by the trail. | |||||
| 7. | straight | ||||||
| 8. | Dogleg right back to trail. Down trail to where I could see reentrant then straight to control. | ||||||
| 9. | Straightish, staying high to avoid some climb, counting reentrants as I went. | ||||||
| 10. | Down hill to sharp bend, cross stream to trail, up trail (too far on trail) and straight to control across slash. Easy to find reentrant. | ||||||
| 11. | straight | ||||||
| 12. | +03:00 | Passed Mike Ball, down hill to cross stream whereever it looked good. Across stream and unmapped open area. Across first bridge, and upstream. Ran into really bad green. No way to get through it. Crawled my way to east to get out of green. Up to left section of trail. Ran up trail to bend. ran up woods to green then cut through the slash. Kept going to I was throught the slash expecting to be able to see the control. Slash extended past the middle of the reentrant (not as shown on map). My control circle went through contour on map so was a little confused. There was someone higher up who also didn't see control. I cut over to edge of next reentrant over. Nope I was in the correct spot. Finally decided to go higher. The slash was really poorly mapped. | |||||
| 13. | +00:15 | I don't know what the purple slash line on map is suppose t be. I headed up hill and mistakenly went into pine forest. followed trail along edge of pine forest to Trail. Trail around to bend and then cut corner. Cross stream just north of trail (got wet). Up hill to control. | |||||
| 14. | +00:30 | Back down hill, along stream, cross trail and other stream. Cut up along eastern ditch. It was all slash along ditch. tough to get to control, not to find it. | |||||
| 15. | More or less straight. Control line covered trail by pine forest so I didn't see it on the map but ran on it anyway. | ||||||
| 16. | Popped out south on the road. confused because I wasn't where I thought I was suppose to me. | ||||||
