July 14, 20232 yr The lease, where I hunt, between Benjamin and Guthrie has been hit by two years worth of rainfall in one month. All of the roads to camp are washed out. We have been considering a helicopter to take us to camp, drive in as far as possible and try to get a drone in. We have had a few storms with probable 100 mph winds and large hail. Google Earth hasn't taken an image since before our camp was even there. Is there a website that has somewhat current satellite imagery? I would pay for it. How current of imagery can a civilian get? Thirty days, two weeks, three days? CHIEF
July 14, 20232 yr A long time ago there was one called terraserver. I'm not sure if it is still around.

I can ask him tomorrow if there is a way to get something to look at. CHIEF

Definitely not. Rain and plenty of forage make for tremendous horn growth. I'm stoked, but fucked. CHIEF
July 14, 20232 yr You can always drop in like this, but if you hesitate at the door they will frag your ass.

Looks like my little family spot “Saturday beach” is getting built back up and deep again. That little pocket on the East side of the pass was a fantastic area for kids when mine were smaller. All hard sand and clear. Anywhere from 6” to 18” deep.

You’ll get about 45 min tops on a drone battery if you are lucky. Might not be enough time to get it where you are able to see everything you want and back in.
