DVOA Fair Hill Big Elk Chapel - Green
Climb didn't feel like this much - but weather was hot and I was actively trying to avoid it as much as possible. Also tried to avoid the open fields with tall grass when it made sense to do so. Control placements were pretty simple and it was all about route choice, which makes a lot of sense in the summer. (I was very glad not to be dragged into deep green needlessly.) Encountered the antique tractor parade on its way to the Cecil County Fair between 7,8,and 9. They were spaced out and slow moving so didn't cause any impedance, but it was an odd thing to see.
