The weekend (and part of the week): Saturday

Well, Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day. This time about 30 of us got together for an orienteering course (learn how to use a map and compass). A Navy SEAL organized the whole thing out at Termination point where they have markers set up that are used for training (you have to find them). We split up into groups and were given two markers to find. There are trails out there, and in our case, we only had to get off the trail once. Our group found both markers and arrived at the meeting location first. We also had a scavenger hunt for different things as we were hiking through the woods. The bad thing was we never had to use our compasses because of the main trail.

Termination Point is right next to Monashka Mountain, (which is seen in this picture since I didn't get a picture last time).

Here is one of the markers we were supposed to find. We had to report the correct letter for a coordinate to show we had been there.

Here is an inlet near Termination Point.

Here, one of the scavenger hunt items was to get a picture of a sea animal. Well, we noticed a fish was jumping out in that inlet. I was lucky enough to get a picture of it as it jumped out of the water.

Here is a close up of the fish in the last picture. I don't know for sure if it is a salmon or not.

Here is a view of the surroundings at the beaver lake which was our meeting place.

Here is a big tree that the beavers chewed down (it was about 2 feet in diameter).

The hike was probably about 4 miles long and relatively flat, so it didn't tire me out much, and I wasn't sore from it...


Anyway, here are the mileage totals again:

Foot: ~44 miles
Bike: ~76 miles
Car: ~3000 miles (It is 95.6 miles roundtrip to the range. I have driven about 6 of these miles!)
Boat: ~6 miles
Plane: ~3450 miles
