Walking warm up/down 14:37 0.88 km (16:34 / km) +13m 15:26 / km
ahr:92 max:116 shoes: 2019 VJ Falcon 6.5 scot
Walk to start of Mocanaqua Adv 1 course (UsynligO). Low 80s today and sunny, less humidity than there has been.
12 PM
Orienteering 1:51:44 **** 4.47 km (25:01 / km) +98m 22:33 / km
ahr:109 max:158 spiked:13/15c shoes: 2019 VJ Falcon 6.5 scot
Adv 1 course at Mocanaqua (thanks again, Greg!), intended to cut it short at the end if I was taking a long time or for another reason. I didn't take splits at all of them because I kept forgetting...first split is at #3, I think.
Did 1-13 then skipped to 20-21-F. Had a couple controls where I asked for help (one was a boulder in an area with unmapped boulders so I wasn't exactly sure where I was; the other was a cup depression where I was off to the left and turned left for a bit at the wide reentrant instead of right). Fascinating ridge line with huge depressions/pits between 12 and 13. As I was dropping off the ridge heading toward 13 there was an abandoned camp (lots of logwood framing and rotting tarps). I have a photo on my phone to post later. I was hoping no one was there, and didn't see anyone as I passed by.
Some places slow-going because of either waist-high vegetation or greenbriar vines.
Cut it short because right knee was starting to complain, as was left foot (the one that went in a hole last week), though the last few were in what looked to be an interesting area.
Didn't see any blueberries on the bushes I saw, but blackberries are starting to ripen! A small patch was conveniently located near the finish circle. ;-)

Back to the car. Stopped to pick some blackberries, and also to check out the bat cave enclosure. That's a pretty heavy duty fence.

Note
Hiked at Burkhart Preserve on the hillside in Emmaus. About 83 and shady. 75 minutes, 4.62 km. Track later, though I covered all the trails shown in the track for this outing.
A few annoying gnats, one fly and one mosquito, and a ton of spiderwebs across the trail. Fortunately they weren't huge and the spiders small; I picked up a stick and swung it as I walked, and got most of them out of my way. Ate some wineberries when I came across them, too. ;-)
Neat butterfly which I either saw two of, or saw the same one twice: red-spotted purple butterfly.

ahr:104 max:138 shoes: 2019 Altra LP4.0 9 rspb
At about 17:50 in I had to hop off the road (and chose to go uphill rather than down) because there was a car approaching. It's a multi-house driveway so not quite a private road, but we'd never encountered vehicles before.
