Slappy, nice find. Reminds me a little of Cambria. Short and sweet. The only issue may be the poles at the end in a dual format. The right side has an extra pole sticking out of the crete so you will have to pinch in at the bottom to get to the run out.

P.S. da Farm was epic. Sorry you missed it.

I found a new spot right near Walker Lane.
It's at the Springfield Transportation Center (Metrorail, Metrobus, VRE, Greyhound bus center).

There is an emergency access road that goes up to the VRE station in the back that is paved. It's comparable to the Park and Ride and Walker lane for pitch and surface quality. It can hold about 50 cones and could be used for duals.

The road that gets there is Windsor Rd. It's right off Beulah before the 7-11. You follow it through a very redneck neighborhood. (No shit...there's like three pickup trucks per yard) There's one fork that you veer left and follow it until it ends. You'll see a sign for the Springfield Trans Center.

Taking Metro is super easy. You can see the road from the station. Just follow the signs for the commuter rail.

Oh, it's also lit and there's a Port-A-Jon at the top.

Very cool.
