What a course...swamps, briars and a moved control oh my! Hope to livelox/Qr this one.
GAH! Going to 4 and 10 was a mess...going to 3 I had it in myhead to go to 7....and my hesitation had me yelling at my computer. More detail later. Still glad I didn't drop to green.
More detail-- To #1--blew it on the trails and made my way there. #2--pretty straightforward, with the pack on LL. #3--had it in my head going north of the water body and found a trail on that little bit of land heading the main trail, but I was wrong and tracked back over. #4--blunder city. Got into the RE which is what I thought I wanted and so very wrong and got totally lost. Reattacked from 5. #5--bearing to it. #6--Set bearing and did a 3 features rule...got to it, questioned it, and then went to it. #7--took the swamp. Slow. #8--so so so slow through that green. Wondered if I had gone far enough and then saw the rock fence. #9--Questioned my water, and realized how oblong it was when I refolded the map and on my way. #10--I just don't remember it being that screwy as it shows on LL. Never saw the road...anyway, I did go in too far the east, and saw the end of the water body and backtracked. #11--my overshot sealed the deal on taking the trail. #12--fight fight fight and got to the man made object and went from there. #13--so tired of the green I cut the swamp to the mid point on the landbridge or whatever line. Ha, taking swamps to avoid green. That's a new one. #14--Hands were too cold/scratched to open a gu, could open my rx bar ate that. Saw Voit, and was shocked. Met up with Igor and Greg. I slowed Igor down on the trail. I shared he could pass me. #15--Straightforward along the water. #16--Trail #17--Right with Igor but wanted to hold a bearing because I wanted to be sure. #18--Trail...finish.
