Blue at the camping weekend...not something I usually do. But 7.4k isn't so very long even if it is Pawtuckaway. Wasn't interested in beating myself up, too long a distance for that type of effort. Goal was to move along w/o much time wasted/head scratching. Lost a few minutes on #2 which was a really trivial location. Of the 17, went to 13 in satisfactory manner. #7 apparently was misplaced - spent some 3' there, sure of where I was - did not help the thought process as I was trying to get in a "knock 'em off" state but things kept intruding.... Maybe 11-12' mistakes, rest slow, fair amount of deadfall from last winter's ice storm. Visual issues today as well. Need a new compass by this coming weekend...have 3 broken ones & Beth's is very difficult to rotate, plus it's hers.... So, another $100, plus of the 3, one can be resurrected from parts. Nice training weekend, good job UNO even if I wasn't of help:-). There's the BD soon.

Blue course:




Have a mapper for new Bear Brook base & looks like some field checking will start in October, A meet likely fall, '11.

Trail encounter...pissed/hissed when I put him on his back so I could get the camera out...
