i've been chewing on finding the best route for Saturday's rogaine, and here's an early result. The blue line's the best straightline distance the computer can find - there may be something better, I had to cut it off early. The red route's the straight connect-the-dots version of Joe and Jeff's route - they pretty much aced it - the difference in the middle of the bottom is trivial, and the difference on the left probably comes down to using real routes.

I've got a plan for real street routing, but that might take a little longer.

C • Best route 4

went out to get the rest of the controls. unfortunately, i'm an idiot, and didn't realize i had forgotten about three on the very edge of the map until i got home. should've drawn my actual route in. i'll have to get those last three some other day.

to and from 55 was a total gong show. missed a turn, backtracked through some sandy/gravelly deliciousness, left my clue card and answer sheet at 55, flatted on the way to 53 (on the pavement, not the gravel) realized i lost the cards, backtracked (through the gravel) to 55, took a fourth lap through the gravel to 55, did an extra lap to near the pin because i had drawn over some important details. blarg.

i think the circle was ~50m off for 67, the lamp with the yield sign.

C • pace counting 11

i really wanted those last three controls
