With Géochum, I found a soccer field flat and full of snow. We made a center point and then, marked ten projection waypoints at multiple bearings of 36 degrees.
The goal was to draw a ten-point star unicursive. So Géochum would go to a waypoint and I would reach him as directly as I could.
The result is not fantastic...maybe the distances were too short. The GPSr was bouncing and the lines are not straight.
Anyway, we had fun, it was sunny but very windy. The temperature was minus 9 degrees F with the wind chill. (minus 23 deg C)
That was an interesting challenge and another reason to go play outside!
I put a mapsource draw of what it was supposed to be as well!
