Hi Rob, all,

If the chief reason for using a blimp is to get the current information on the
ground cover, I think it would?have been?more effective to get current air
photos from a fixed wing aircraft set up for that type of air survey, unless
they need real time data.? Of course, they could also be looking for small black
specks on house roofs ;-)

Historically, most of the rain?should be?passed for a while, but the morning dew
was pretty severe every morning the few days I was there after the rain.?


Cheers,

Frank

Hi All,

As I wrote off-list (and others have mentioned) the ground cover is
seasonal, so it's important to have current information in order to
scope out the best areas that can be searched most efficiently. Time
is their enemy in terms of terrestrialization/rain, so I know Peter
wants to recover as much material as possible before it rains any
more than it already has.

If the rumors of marijuana growing in the area are true, I don't
know that I'd want to be flying too low! These airships get bullet
holes in them all the time (which is a sad statement about humanity),
so it wouldn't surprise me if a few new holes get added over the
next couple days.? --Rob

Also a good way to spot grow-ops.
