Orienteering (Field Checking) 2:00:00 [2] *** 6.0 mi (20:00 / mi)
Flagging most of the rest of the Billygoat controls at Thacher. Also checked out (and flagged) one of the sprint courses at Pinnacle. Did a bit of mapping to update the area at Camp Pinnacle where they've put in some fences to contain horses. Found most of the control locations OK, but there's one that's "bump in the snow which I think has a stome wall under it". I'll let the vetter check that one.
Snow today varied from none (in the fields at Pinnacle) to up to my knees on the leeward sides of some hills and it was all pretty wet. I was at the highest elevations on the map today, hence more snow. I used snowshoes for the first loop but then went without them through some areas where I could've used them. A successful day considering the conditions. Temperatures in the 40's but the forcasted "sun later in the day" never materialized. Actual time out was about 4 hours.
If the Billygoat were run today, the recommended footwear would be plastic bags. :-)
