Hi All,

Zac and I made a Corridor O map for a little training this Sunday at 11:00.  Below is the map.  Can you determine what map is this cut from?

Easy.
This map probably has the highest ratio of meets canceled to meets held.

Could it be the map on which you have designed courses that have yet to see the light of day?

Yes Guy,

This Corridor O  map is a preliminary Blue course Zac designed 18 months ago. 

The map is pretty readable for a scanned (600 dpi) jpeg of the offset printed version.  We printed it out on a HP laser printer (no color adjustment).  The "clearing" color was not distinguishable and the "ditch" symbol was not very dot like (looked like a contour line).

The link below is my GPS route around the course.  I missed #4 and #6 but the other controls were pretty good.
