Event: SMOC - Mich Two Day Part 1 - Univ of Mich Scramble at the Arb
 

Setting controls at Diamond Oaks. Ended up not placing a few because of a number of bored tweens hanging out around the park. So I'll have a few extra to finish in the morning.

Pulled most of an all nighter Wednesday night with cedarcreek and Vladimir Z, preparing base map materials for Carter Caves. Between software glitches, improperly labelled materials (gee it really helps georeference the map if the state cartographer puts the correct info on the map !!!), and mega files that repeatedly crashed computers and copiers, it was an incredible operation. Cedarcreek rocked, finally making PDFs from a cranky laptop operating in safe mode while running ocad 11 and QGIS. Just amazing. By the time we finished it was Thursday afternoon.

Then did the 6.5 hour round trip to Carter Caves in the rain - 'twas a dark and stormy night, with several dodge-ems including a skunk, a fallen tree, and a microwave oven sized boulder.

C • Wow- reads like a novel! 2

Golf with Dad. 9 holes.

setting controls for UCMS O' club meeting. A good turnout today. Dylan Poe, Sam Kelsch, Alex Yancey and Luke Bantz helped pick up controls. Sam ran the longest and toughest course (1.6 km, 14 controls) from map memory, had to come back once to look at the map, and still was fastest to complete the course in just over 12 minutes, with Dylan a close second.

Also walked and jogged a few minutes with one of the students after she had trouble finding some of the controls.

C • I LIKE it!! 2

Checking control sites at Diamond Oaks.

Pulling honeysuckle bushes.

Also pulled up the last of tomato and pepper plants from my garden and put away tomato cages.

Also did a 3 or 4 hundred meters at moderate jog. Nothing feeling too stiff or sore from last night's orienteering meet.
