For last year's event, you could find the checkpoints in any order. This year, there's a twist called Dogbones. Checkpoints will be paired, and when you find one checkpoint, you have to find its partner next (you can start with either one in the pair.) Checkpoints can be recorded by using an electronic chip (if you own a SportIdent stick) or a digital camera or phone camera or by question and answer with a pencil.
