Comments: I competed in an orienteering event at Fort Casey today. The navigation was relatively easy, but I made one colossal blunder that cost me around two minutes. I saw that control #7 was on the gun emplacements, but I forgot there were two distinct sets. I sprinted to the visible set to the southwest, but the control was near the set to the southeast, which was obscured by a ridge. The leg from #2 to #3 was the longest leg of the course, and it was also directly into the wind. The gusts made it difficult to read the map because it folded back on itself. I also had to use my free hand to keep my hat clamped onto my head. Besides those two legs, I was satisfied with my race.

On the way home from Fort Casey, Angie and I stopped at the Diamond Knot Brewery for lunch. They brought out our sandwiches on a plate with a heated lava stone. We cooked our meat on the stone at the table. Even though we had to work for our food, it was quite delicious.  ¶ 6:17 PM
