A helicopter keeps coming in and out of the canyon where the small town of El Portal is and has hauled away what is probably sling loads of pot from a pot farm. The ship hovers above the canyon wall on the south side of the Merced River across from El Portal.

1st photo shows the ship hovering for a pick up and the 2nd photos show it flying away with sling loads of something.
