I could do a simple 20-second course and people will still find ways to get lost. I try to make the courses longer and more interesting.

I don't remember this course, but it's even easier to follow than the upcoming one. I see one place in the back where it's possible to get confused, and that only if you're not paying attention. I'll stand on my original statement -- I'll bet we had very few newbs get lost on this one.CaptainSquirts wrote:No doubt the course will be good, but I remember back at TBD we had a course where a bunch of people kept getting lost.

C'mon, Randy, the PM group means you can sleep in and still make the event.
