A very short distance southwest from the Sycamore group picnic area (GPA) is a tall light pole. This course (OC2) begins there.

  • In the distance there is a tall light pole at 155 degrees (155D). Go to it. This is the beginning of Segment A.
  • In the distance there is a tall light pole at 220D. Go to it. This is the beginning of Segment B.
  • In the distance there is a tall light pole at 80D. Go to it. This is the beginning of Segment C.
  • In the distance there is a tall light pole at 125D. Go to it. This is the beginning of Segment D.

Before proceeding to your patrol's assigned segment, estimate the height of the tall light pole.

There are occasional "check steps" to make sure you're on the right track. Do not go to these. Just check to make sure you're in the right place.

If there is a baseball game going on, spot your target and then walk around to it. Do not interfere with a game!
