I was under the impression that the convoy of trucks going to/from the Great Red Spot above Olive View Hospital were removing dirt. It turns out that they're dumping it there from elsewhere. I hope this information is useful as it pertains to obtaining back-fill for the H2 LZ.

Cheers, Jonathan

I set up a landing approach for the Red Spot plateau last time I sank out over there and much to the disappointment of the peanut gallery, I hooked a nice bubble that carried me amply high for an easy glide home. I love to disappoint!
