Brown course at Burton Creek! This was WAYYYY better than yesterday, although Presto's feet were all cut up from the pointy Tahoe vegetation, so he was seriously slowing me down today. I think I easily could have been 10 minutes faster on my own. Oh well. It was quite fun anyway.

80m ARDF at Burton Creek! Sam set transmitters for me after the orienteering, and I headed out to find them. Except for one control, this felt awesome. I was locating the controls well and even found 4 and 5 off-cycle after a fairly significant amount of compass bearing. The only problem was number 3, which was just inside this extremely thick swath. Sadly I didn't see it when I was on the correct side of the swath and ended up going to the other side of the swath and then having to come back to the first side of the swath. I lost 10 minutes here. I just have to be less unobservant in Kazakhstan!
