Took multiple trips, and messaging the CO, but I got it done! FTF 1:45 PM. I'm still not sure about my answers for the final, or the calculations.... but I got the log signed today. TheBearNextDoor did update the puzzle after my first dnf.

Not sure there aren't still errors in this one. I did get a nice walk in the rain. Thanks
