These are from May 18th. Missed a few because the landmarks are gone. Had two DNF's even though I found the landmarks - will have to go back to those again. Coordinates were way off on most of these - some 200-300 meters.

It was sweet being at the top for all of those 34 hours :(

I've run out of close by 1st of settings and close-by bonus marks are getting thin and only 3 weeks left.

Close by? I'm well past close by :( but I've been combining some work on the Arizona Delorme Challenge Cache at the same time. I messed up on Friday, I drove right past a 25 pointer that I had targeted but forgotten to put on the day's agenda.

 

Setting 16

DA1098 Setting=16 10 + 25 (UNK) = 35

 

Setting 30

DA1109 Setting=30 1 + 5 (1960) = 6

 

Total for this post: 41.

 

I still have my eye on the bonus for 27 different settings, with one long drive and one long hike.

The judge found several mistakes in my listings for this week in case you've been following really closely.

I'll try to get them listed this weekend but they end up a point or two in my favor since I forgot to list a bonus. Sorry to be making it hard for you, UNK1

(The TillaMurphs are exhausted and out of gasoline. Stick a fork in us – we are done. What an excellent contest!)

 

[edited to reduce points - we made a mistake and logged RD1443 with the setting from a current datasheet rather than the GC version - corrected points are now listed above]

Final entry, not what I wanted but the UNK#7 eluded me once again (but I will try for it another day!)

total = 2 pts :)

 

Thanks for the contest, UNK1. It gave me a push into looking for benchmarks, and I ended up finding some new areas to enjoy. Sadly I never got to look for any pre-1900 marks, but in my area the only ones are in the hills along the Mexican border - not a place I want to be hanging out on my own.
