My buddy and I went out to our part of LBJ National Grasslands. He'd reported an issue with a stream that USED to be very cross-able. It is anything but! Lots of debris floated down it and blocked it in at least three places. Making a 3 inch deep stream, 3 feet deep. We worked south to see if there was anyplace reasonably cross-able.....not really, at least not on any orienteering courses we would think people would chose for a route. SO, had to scratch one back country control and then work on a few others to "Make" the orienteers go around the mess. We hiked around 4 miles, started around 10 and finished by 3 (with a lunch break).
Then our best friend, who was part of the orienteering club died and well, it just wasn't the same, so we haven't done one in a few years.
