Orienteering (Gay City) 10:00 [1] ***
shoes: Salomon TR2
While waiting for Sue & Mike to arrive, Hayden & I took a map for some quick orienteering practice. 3 control sites near the parking lot. First one was a dot knoll at the south end of a field. Got there and there's no dot knoll there, maybe a gentle rise in the terrain near the power line pole, but definitely no dot knoll. I wonder what chucklehead mapped this area :-) Rest went ok, but a couple of small trails behind the ranger cabin have pretty well disappeared, but its been 10 years and those trails aren't' part of the regular public network.
Hiking (Gay City) 1:15:00 [1] 5.0 km (15:00 / km)

Family hike on a fine afternoon. Took a couple maps with us and Hayden and I did a bit of reverse trail O. As we walked along the trail I'd point out a visible feature from the trail and ask him to locate it on the map. Most of the time I had to help him relocate where we were on the map, but then he usually found the feature ok. At least he's excited about doing the orienteering.
