Course Notes
Some people say the name "Hard Labor Creek" originated with the slaves who worked the cotton fields in this area. I can't verify that, but I do know that poor farming practices left behind gullies that make "hard labor" for orienteers. You decide whether to go around or through.
Map has been updated to use a green "x" for rootstocks.
Almost no walk from parking to the start or the finish. The start and finish share a narrow corridor between the campground and the carpet golf course. Everyone will cross the campground road at a mandatory crossing point on the way to the final control and the finish. Feel free to walk up the campground road to the picnic shelter and around the finish (but not through it!) and look it over, but do not go west of the campground road or north of the finish until you are on the clock! You can warmup anywhere east of the finish.
Please see Classic distance page for mapper's notes.
