Map Notes
Map has a 3-meter contour interval. The map uses some nonstandard symbols to define the unique vegetation. Check the legend for symbols and what they mean. A green X denotes a rootstock, still standing ( dead tree still upright). Special feature X(black) can show old cars, trailers, equipment, trash piles and other man-made items.
Trails
Some trails may be covered with leaves and may be difficult to find. Many of the cattle made trails are barely visible. Some trails have ribbons or trail signs marking them.
Water Crossings
Water levels are high. Orange course and above will get their feet wet. Bring extra shoes and socks to change after you run. Do not cross if you can't see the bottom.
Dangers
Running through unfamiliar terrain is always dangerous. Notable terrain hazards at Clements include high cliffs, uncrossable streams and marsh, barbed wire, briars, loose rocks, tree branches, and leaf-hidden hazards. Clements rivals Sid and Stubblefield for the largest variety and most quantity of sticker bushes. Orange level and above runners will need leg protection.
Rifle Range
The rifle and archery ranges are enclosed by uncrossable fence, but no shooting
will take place this weekend.
Sportsmanship
The courses utilize the entire property, and pass through the camping areas. Please use courtesy around other's campsites. Members of your group should stay within the camping areas and do not use this as an opportunity to explore the camp. Competitors who venture outside the camping areas or tamper with the controls will be immediately disqualified.
Permanent Trail Markers
Some of the trails near camp are marked with orange and white markers. Orange-over-White leads back
to camp (White-over-Orange leads away from camp). Here's a mnemonic: Orange you glad you're over
that? Heading west will bring you either back to camp, or to one of the north-south roads on the
west edge of camp.
Safety Bearing
The camp is surrounded by an uncrossable game fence. Generally go north or south
to the main road or along game fence.
