Please remember you are only competing against teams within your own ‘Class’, and the ‘honor’ of being 1st Overall. So if everyone in your ‘Class’ fell for the same trap, it will not affect your ‘Class’ standings. The real ‘winners’ of today’s event are the recipients of the toys which were donated today for the USMC TOYS FOR TOTS program. We hope that you enjoyed the event.
Official

Leg 1. From instruction #1 to instruction #9.
Official mileage 10.42
Instruction #4. – ‘R at crossroad after
passing 2nd black and yellow crossroad sign’. Each route
instruction
Leg 2. From instruction #9 to instruction #12.
Official mileage 4.15
Instruction #10 – Route instruction #10 stated ‘L on Fox Hill Rd.’ there are two roads along Fairmount Road named Fox Hill. The 1st is ‘E. Fox Hill Rd’, the second road is ‘Fox Hill Rd’. You should have turned on Fox Hill and not E. Fox Hill to remain on-course.
Penalty - 30 mileage points, plus off-course Passage Control (200 points)
Leg 3. From instruction #12 to instruction #17.
Official mileage 7.56
Photo Clue A - There are two crossroad signs. The second sign was the correct sign. If you looked closely you would have noticed a ‘nick’ in the center of the sign which was not present on the 1st crossroad sign that you encountered.
Penalty - 390 mileage points.
Leg 4. From instruction #17 to instruction #27
Official mileage 8.92 - This is the official odometer leg. There were no ‘planned’ traps on this leg.
Leg 5. From instruction #27 to instruction #34.
Official mileage 7.49
Photo Clue C – This photo clue was active between Inst. #28 and Inst #29. After you completed Inst. #27, there was a forced right turn due an unpaved road directly ahead of you. Since unpaved roads are not considered as valid roads unless specifically instructed, you had to make a ‘forced right’. If you did not notice the road was unpaved you would have executed Inst. #28 early and seen the scene in Photo B and skipped to Inst. #31 shortcutting the route. If you noticed the unpaved road you would have been ‘forced right’ and looped back around to execute Inst. #31 correctly without skipping any instructions.
Penalty - 430 mileage points.
Leg 6. From instruction #34 to instruction #45.
Official mileage 20.25
Photo Clue C – While
traveling on Route 512, you 1st came across a very faded
Pottersville sign, this sign was not the one listed on the Photo page. If you
looked at the wording on the sign and the background in the photo you would
have noticed that they did not match the picture. Penalty - 290 mileage points.
Leg 6. From instruction #34 to instruction #45. (Cont.)
Instruction #39. ‘L
onto SOL Califon-Cokesbury Rd. after RIP “COKESBURY”’. Califon-Cokesbury Rd
made a right at the top of the hill. Since you were onto the road by
name you needed to make a ‘Forced right’ to remain onto the road by name
prior to executing instruction #40. If you did not notice this you would have
shortcutted the rallye route.
Penalty - 40 mileage points.
Photo Clue D – While
traveling on Sutten Rd you were instructed to look for a specific Stop sign as
showed in Photo Clue D. You need to turn at the 2nd Stop sign to stay on-course. Penalty - 240 mileage points.
Leg 7. From instruction #45 to instruction #48.
Official mileage 5.16
Photo Clue E – This was a photo of a house number on a mailbox. Per the Special Instructions – There are no valid route following instructions on today’s event located on telephone poles, mailboxes or their supports or on any living animals. If you did not remember that you added extra mileage to your route and extra points.
Penalty - 170 mileage points.
Leg 8. From instruction #48 to instruction #52.
Official mileage 4.57
Instruction # 50 This was the only trap on today’s event based on Delta Mileages. The instructions required that you travel .9 miles prior to executing the ‘R at “LONG HILL RD”. The 1st time you saw Long Hill Road you only traveled .2 miles. You should have passed this end of the street and traveled the full .9 miles to the correct turn.
Penalty - 170 mileage points.
Leg 9. From instruction #52 to instruction #56.
Official mileage 5.29
Photo Clue F This Speed Limit sign was down a side street only just after you executed Inst. # 52. You might have missed this if the navigator was reading the comment about Hacklebarney rather then looking for the Photo Clue.
Penalty - 90 mileage points.
