Mason County Fairgrounds, the start and finish, are next door to the county airport and smoke jumpers, perhaps, were in training.

This guy musta been small as he floated down slower than all the rest of the jumpers.

The after picture. To say I ate a little dust would be an understatement. The organizers screwed up and while most starting lines had 2 or 3 riders, ours had five and right off the bat I was eating twice the dust of other starters.

My worst crash (the 3rd of 4) produced this result. I now know about impacting wood as I got "stumped", stamped with a temporary "mark of the tree that used to be".
