Some notes:

  • Tinker annhilated us.
  • Everyone got lost to some degree. But there were no turns that everyone missed, so it was somewhat random. In the end it seemed to effect everyone fairly equally. Tinker got the furthest off the course, but he followed a wash to rejoin the route so it didn't cost him too much in the end.
  • Tinker didn't stop at the peppersauce cave. Presumably he was too early to be directed off the road and into the cave. But this did take everyone, on average, about 5 minutes.
