Common Mistake
I actually think "none of the above." I put getting tired because I know that I'm more likely to make mistakes tired, but I really think my most common mistake is probably incorrectly connecting features on the map with features in the terrain. I almost always feel that I know where I am on the map - I'm just wrong sometimes.

Training coming up...
Thanks for your input. I'll be planning some training on all these issues. Definitely at Mt Pinos Saturday afternoon, but probably something in May as well.
