Prince William Forest National Park, VA. Francis Hogle, Kris Harrison, Jon Torrance, Greg Lennon and I split up and scouted areas of the park that QOC hadn't used for decades. Using 20 and 30 year old maps and sometimes none at all, we toured different parts of the park north and west of the maps used for the last time QOC hosted the US Championships. I found both not so nice woods and excellent woods. Hilltops in western areas tended to be thick from blowdown, laurel, holly and thorns but valleys were good. The further east I went the high and low ground were super fast. I took pictures along the way.
