I didn't see this either, but my guess would be that the
Instructors were letting the students make their own navigation
decisions near the end of a course. I am sure the
instructors knew where they were (Courtwright Reservoir and
Florence Lake areas are open and easy to navigate around) but may have needed to step in a bit
earlier to help with the navigation. There are streams
there that could cause quite a bit of extra walking to a safe
crossing if you ended up in the wrong spot.
