Event: ROC - Overlook NRE
 

Past the overlook of Honeoye Lake, walking with Heidi Hall (F50+, ROC) who was working at check-in. Two fellows from Singapore asked us what the map symbol of a circle with a dot inside was.

Low 50s and partly cloudy at start; mid 50s and mostly sunny by the time we left the park.

ROC Overlook NRE Brown middle at Harriet Hollister Spencer Recreation Area near Whitewater, NY (an area often used for ski-O events). 1:7500 map, 5m contours. 3 km, 100m climb

Pretty good on most except got confused by the "density" of the trails en route to #1...not so much which trails were where, because I was trying to cut across them, but how they were mapped (is a jeep road the heaviest trail and are the grassy ones a step less?), so I made my way down to where the hill dropped off and headed south (because I figured I was too far north) from there. AP shows 1:30 lost there, my only "mistake" (per its algorithm). Saw multiple people headed into or out of the flag location on the rootstock once I got close.

The rest were pretty clean, though I wasn't quite on line to #6....coulda used the circle cut on the south side there to see more of what was going on between the marshes. Checked out a control in a different reentrant on the way to #8 but knew it wasn't mine. Saw Judy K heading the other way; she was headed back to #7. Beat Sharon on the downhill run in; otherwise she might have gotten me by seconds...she was ahead by just a little bit at the last control.

Prizes were mini bottles of maple syrup. Yum!

Brown - Splits

Nice day but I didn't want to ride trails at Green Lane (where Glen went) so I rode roads from here with a section of rail trail. 68 and overcast, though it started out sunny this morning. That seems to be a trend here, particularly in spring.

Another walkabout with Glen, this time closer to home. Mid 60s with alternating sun and clouds; dressed for the cooler temp/clouds so was a bit warm when the sun popped out.

I just noticed I didn't get credit for the second control I visited, #46...I never noticed yesterday when I picked up my splits printout. I probably had to wake up the control and didn't wait long enough for it to register. (Would have put me ahead of the Veterans Mixed team.) Whatever. :-)

After lunch we decided we wanted to go for a shake-out walk, but not close by. Leaser Lake sounded good, with birds and turtles to see, and the temperature was showing 72F. By the time we were ready clouds were covering most of the sky but we thought it would stay warm.

By the time we reached Leaser Lake the temp was down to 68, so I exchanged my short sleeves for long sleeves. And by the time we'd been out about 35 minutes light rain began to fall. It never got heavy so we kept on going, but then the wind picked up a bit so we headed back.

Saw Canada geese, tree swallows, RWB, sparrows, a cardinal, brown thrashers, robins, yellow-rumped warblers, and I think I saw an oriole--likely an orchard oriole. Also saw three painted turtles on a log, though by the time we headed back only one remained on the log.
