  2. I had some questions about the control descriptions.
    Black triangle = Boulder (this is because the mapping software gives you a triangle for boulder)
    Brown dot = Knoll (mapping software gives you a black dott for knoll)
    Control 1 on both courses is marked as a building on the map but there is absolutely nothing left of the building just the flat ground it stood on and some trash – I marked it as a ruin on the controll card.
    Control 10 on the long course is a spur
    Control 11 on the long course is a terrace

  4. One of the biggest spruce trees in Anchorage is between 2 and 3 on the long course (between 7 and 8 on the short course). It is worth looking for.

  5. There was an issue where people could not enter their times in the feedback form, its fixed now. It only affected the last several entries for Ruth Arcand and the first two on Storck. The feedback form now accepts times again and those entries have been corrected.

  6. Friday 3:20pm start. 1 moose & 1 hare 80m SW of #1 on the long & short. Yips glad I was paying attention to distance traveled today. That’s all I can type until I get the devils club out of my fingers.

  7. I really enjoyed the skull and the vertebrae. I found owl pellets under a spruce on the way down to #8 on the short course. I managed to get to each control without getting lost or overshooting. I did it Saturday in the sunshine. Very nice. Thank you.

  9. Had a great time – there was a moose too close to long #6 for us to feel comfortable continuing to look for it, so we went on (DNF of course) and had great practice navigating “on” a bearing, but actually around lots of deadfall! Thanks, Trond, it was interesting and fun, and I especially like your training ideas.

  10. I took newbies Raj and Amalia Choudhury around the short course and we had a great time. There was a cow moose with newborn twins hanging around the weather station between controls 2 and 3 around 2100 tonight (5/18) and we passed another cow that was pawing the ground and acting agitated between control 6 and 7 on the south side of Clarks Road.

    We missed control 8 via an overshoot south of the correct vector from 7. A rather large three-quarter counterclockwise spiral allowed me to locate it.

    Thanks for the fun! Time permitting, will try the long course tomorrow night.
