Boulder Dash, Day 1 Green.
Yikes! I lost 15 minutes on one control. I started off poorly by not realizing that the streamers to the first control were for everyone and not just for the white course, so I was slower than I should have been. At number six, I came in just below the control but thought I was above, so went down and then had to correct. Also head trouble from seven to eight because I misread up and down. I was convinced I was going east and downhill to the pond until I passed a stream flowing the other way. That made it all make sense. Big muck-up at number 12. I attacked from the trail and thought that I was being careful to approach up the reentrant, but things weren't making sense. I figured I was too far west, so when I started hitting marshes, I corrected by going east. It never managed to make sense and I bailed back to the trail and attacked again from the large boulder. When I finally saw my track I can see that I was actually too far east the entire time. The reentrant I wanted must not have been as obvious as I anticipated.

Great Vermont Corn Maze. We got there toward the end of the day, so they had to give us some hints to help us out. Pretty big, cool maze with some bridges.

O in the Pines, Day 2 - Long Green. Biggest mess was at number 7. Interestingly enough, the splits don't flag this as a mistake, I guess my route to the circle was pretty fast to make up for it. When I got to the circle I came in just a bit to the right of the control and didn't see it. I saw another tree to my right and went that way and kept pulling right until I was down near the trail and then went back up. Slow again, though.
