| 1. | Started off slow to get my bearings. Up over the hill and around part of the green. | ||||||
| 2. | straight | ||||||
| 3. | I was expecting 3 to be at the foot of the bridge. I was looking at the water and not for the control. I was lucky that I saw it. | ||||||
| 4. | This time ran to the bridge. | ||||||
| 5. | Walked across the bridge. What a stupid thing. I tried to use the time to look at the map. Ugh a hill. I took the trail to the hill top then cut over. | ||||||
| 6. | +02:00 | I am not sure how but I was to far south and sent awhile wondering around. Finally saw the stream and cut back. Never did see the "reentrant" the control was in. | |||||
| 7. | +06:00 | Back to where I just was. Headed south, up trail around marsh. Crossed green area which I don't think is mapped correctly anymore. Crossed road where there was a boulder so I knew where I was. Apparently I wrong. Either I was misreading things or at an umapped rock. This led me to be slight off. I was just north of the control and wandering. I headed the wrong way, then went to high. Eventually went the correct way | |||||
| 8. | +00:30 | Ok, these are the make/break legs. cut up to the trial. Hit it right at the hump. Passed the trail junction and cut in at the cliff. Carefully pace count. By the bowl reentrant to the top of the reentrant. Had to cut down hill to the control. | |||||
| 9. | Pace count and look for the gray rock. | ||||||
| 10. | Pass Rick Dewitt. Not much to attack on. Pass clearing cut. Take carefull bearing and pace count. Hit the correct area and drop down to what should have been the control. Turns out I would have spiked it if I hadn't dropped down. | ||||||
| 11. | +01:30 | Straight up through the cliff. Cut to trail for little bit then just get down the hill angling to the control. Went over the the reentrant and was so focused on the reentrant that I didn't realize the control wasn't in the reentrant. I head down the reentrant only to have to go back up when I realized I wanted the rock and not the reentrant. | |||||
| 12. | Took the left route but didn't move very fast. There were a lot of bushes that were making my feet drag. | ||||||
| 13. | +05:00 | straight but drifted right. Saw a control and ran to it. Then couldn't match the cliffs up again. Finally figured where I was (running the wrong way again) and went to the control. | |||||
| 14. | Navigated very carefully to this one and the control was in the wide open area and could be seen from miles away. | ||||||
| 15. | |||||||
| 16. | went up then down then up. Oh what the heck. Why can't I make my mind up. | ||||||
| 17. | Just moving slow | ||||||
| 18. | Could see control 19 on the way to 18. | ||||||
| 19. | Could see control 19 from control 18 | ||||||
| 20. | +04:00 | I was to lazy to climb so went straight. I think the road would have been fastest. The area around the control is not mapped correctly. It shows as a spur but is more like a variated outcropping. All the detail is missing. Very slow getting there and then wandered. | |||||

| F. | Jogged in. Just about to get a serious cramp. |
