Frozen Beaver Rogaine at Lake Hope State Park in Ohio with Dusty. Plan was to go generally CW but make some inner loops to avoid some elevation gain. We had bailouts along the N and E parts of the course. Clean nav until we hit 52 on the western side of the course. From there, we needed to drop down the spur and enter the main creekbed going north. Somehow, we crossed it and went into the one heading NW. Ended up off the map. Went 1:40 without collecting a CP. Devastating for any course, esp a 6hr. We eventually decided to take the road north, feeling there was no way we were far enough north. Found our intersection and 81. Back on the map. In hindsight, we should have gone east up to the road and attacked 35 and 81 from there. We considered both ways initially. The rest really clean nav, but the damage was done. Bailed on some CPs to the north and a couple near the finish.
