Werner Haag, the Course Setter, asked me to include an apology for misplacing control 9 on the Long course and some minor map inaccuracies. We didn't void the course because, despite the inaccuracies, our intrepid group of problem solvers largely finished the course nonetheless without too much time lost.
Thanks to Werner for making the map and setting the courses, Graham Brew for all the event directing help (and guidance getting the permit!), and our all-star volunteer crew. With so many volunteers going above and beyond, we cleaned up in record time and were out of there before 3 PM (which was very much appreciated). Rock on!

Thanks to all the participants, and I'll see you out there next time.

You can see the event map with the actual routes traveled by participants, and draw your own route for comparison, in RouteGadget for this event. (Use of RouteGadget is explained here.)
In RouteGadget, you can enter your route manually or upload a GPS recording and adjust to fit our map. The following tips apply to the GPS method.
RouteGadget Tip #1: After selecting your GPX file, make sure to adjust the time offset between starting your watch at the Start line and leaving the Start Triangle. The offset can have a significant impact on your route accuracy. For most local events, the offset should be set to 0 as we start from the triangle (assuming you started your watch exactly when you started).
RouteGadget Tip #2: After uploading your GPS track to RouteGadget, you can create additional blue adjustment points by right-clicking your track. You can use these points to better align your route with the map, for example, along trails. You can delete extra adjustment points by right-clicking them.
Please tell Jeff Lanam (email) and the webmasters (email) if anything needs to be changed.
