Hiking 28:00 [3] 2.1 km (13:20 / km)
4 RTs of driveway. Beautiful morning.
One of the young coyotes came by last night at midnight to howl and prowl around the top of our driveway. Turned on the flood lights to watch him.

2 PM
Orienteering 1:16:00 [3] 5.0 mi (15:12 / mi)
Walk/jogged two sprint courses Charlie set in his backyard (Ratlum Mountain).
There seems to be no end to stupid errors I can commit. On the second leg of the first course I saw that the next control was on a direct line with the edge of the barn. Away I go, getting validation every 25 meters (crossed a wall, met a trail, left at the tee, right on xth trail, expect 90 degree left and 90 right in the trail. Yup. Hit 'em all. But I had oriented myself on the wrong edge of the barn, which took me 90 degrees off intended course. Bailed on the 8th control when I could not find it.
The next course went smoothly. Easier, with controls on trails. And this time I stuck to the trails. Didn't realize until next day that I had skipped #4, which I passed within meters on my way to #5. Bad concentration all day.
Had fun taking pictures of what looked like a record turnout for the end of season WCOC picnic. Will post after "developing" them.
