SG-25.JPGLZ Meade143 views"A" Battery just arriving by "shithook" (Chinook) on LZ Meade. We had just left the comparable "luxury" (?) of LZ English. LZ Meade was dusty, dirty, and worst of all, rocky. Could not fill a sandbag...too hard to dig. Apparently we were not the first unit to occupy the hill as there was a lot of stuff left from previous tenants. No ID's on the guys in the photo.
