I can see why Turf would be under pressure from escalating land prices

likely toxic dump sites which, hopefully, will protect them (at least
from the developers).


Ray: They'll have to move a bunch of wrecked cars, trucks and buses,
that's for sure. But take a look at Estrella on Google Earth and
you'll see that there is a lot of empty land around.

While you're on Google, see if you can spot the various types of
glider at Estrella that day. The photo was taken late on a Saturday
morning early last year and there were a bunch of ASA pilots rigging
for a contest, including me with my Discus 2.
