Johnstown Stackhouse Park Orienteering







From start to 5 (rootstock), easy route
from 5 to 1 (rootstock), very easy downhill and then trail
from 1 to 3 (ruined wall), headed to clearing and thought "go upstream of creek on left side", but chose the WRONG CREEK ! realized of the error when saw a trail intersection.
from 3 to 7 (boulder, 1 meter), crossed creek and uphill in thick vegetation
from 7 to 2 (boulder), easy trails
from 2 to 17 (rootstock), followed trail that led to underhill side of control, instead of staying on high ground, given past experience that reentrant feature is more recognizable from below than from flat and feature-less top, but in retrospect, should have stayed on high ground.
from 17 to 8 (knoll), easy trail. Missed the control and used pond as reference
from 8 to 10 (rootstock), followed trail downhill and uphill, but realized I should go to control 11 first (spring). Wasted some time and energy and went back downhill.
from 11 to 10, trail and then thick vegetation underbrush.
from 10 to 18 (rootstock), trail, thick vegetation, stony ground.
from 18 to 20, trail, missed it, catching feature was trail intersection
from 20 to 19 (junked auto remains), easy trail
from 19 to 13 (lower end of trail), easy downhill road to trail intersection, then followed stream and woodsy terrain to control
from 13 to 9, uphill to forest road, trail, bit confused on a trail intersection (was expecting a T-intersection) but there never was one: the trail coming from the North is barely visible)
from 9 to 15 (ruin), easy trail
from 15 to 12 (stream reentrant junction), easy road, then uphill on stream
from 12 to 16 (cliff, 3 meters), downhill to trail, crossed creek on footbridge, used trail junction and marsh as reference, easy find
from 16 to 14 (rootstock), used trail junction as reference to then cross creek, and slightly uphill on other side of creek, but missed it. Trail was catching feature, and eventually, at trail-road intersection, got my reference back and from there, easy find.
From 14 to 6 (edge of thicket), uphill to road, then climb uphill.
from 6 to 4, steep downhill to trail, then easy find.
from 4 to finish, trail, then steep climb in woods, then road.
