Beyond The Basic Part 2 Map and Compass

Who needs to practice the map and compass skills we learned in WBC?  It can be a bit confusing so why not come out and get some more practice.  We are going to be doing a hike that focuses on map and compass skills.  We will still be hiking about 5 miles but the pace will be slower than usual as we make a point to “bread crumb” our way along the trail doing a lot of terrain association as well as a triangulation exercise while we hike.  Our hike will have  ~600 feet of elevation gain/loss starting at the La Honda Drive trailhead heading out on the creek crossing trail. We will follow this to the East Ridge trail, on to the Sage Trail and then to Coyote Run before returning to our original starting point.
Bring your 10 essentials (especially compasses, pencils and straight edges), 2 liters of water and a snack.  Map Sections will be provided to all participants.
