Observations

Did not dig a full pit, but went 100cm down. We bottomed out a 270cm probe in this rollover, no idea how thick the wind layed it on there.
NNE 25-30 degree, severely wind affected and compacted.
No considerable or worrisome layers in those 100cms.

Insane wind sculpting on the NE McDonald bowl.
