QOC Greenbelt Blue - fairly good race, memorable problems all related to new deadfall not being on the map while being in the terrain in places that impacted route choice.
Half the time I spent vetting control locations at Occoquan. Moved a number of white and yellow course control for various reasons and one advanced course control because the location I had in mind was a sea of thorny vegetation but the courses are mostly okay, or will be once I finish mapping the vegetation or rather that part of the vegetation in and near the area covered by the courses.
Hope we get a day like today on February 10th - it was lovely in the woods. Saw a small herd/bunch/mob/leash/parcel/rangale of deer on a couple of occasions and presumably the same gang/rafter of turkeys hanging out on the east edge of the park that I saw on a previous visit (I thought we had more agreement on collective nouns than seems to be the case - apparently murmuration is only one of at least five possibilities for starlings).
To work. Since the forecast precipitation didn't materialise, as rain or snow - the biggest wrong call I can remember in the DC forecast in a long time, though apparently things didn't miss us by all that much as they passed by to the south of DC - home by way of PCRM.
