Post 362 has an URL for a satellite image (NOAA) of Little St. James Island. The initial image is from 2018 and on my phone if you use a spreading motion an older image comes up. It shows the leveling of the hill in preparation for the tennis court. Lots of dirt (not rock) was moved elsewhere. Many cubic yards were sliced off the top, loaded into trucks and dumped somewhere else.
The sundial to the right of the tennis court has not yet been built yet but the area has rough buildings and construction materials in the eventual sundial location. I can’t see any date on the older map but it would be from between 1997 and 2003, a WAG.

Re: post 362 Satellite image of Little St.James Island

In the older image there are many fewer buildings. No temple, no larger residences, vegetation appears to be natural species. So the date on the image could be quite early.
The older image doesn’t block the checkered area, it appears to be sand. The building just to the right in the current image has a walled walkway as if it was a landing area for a large number of people or a launching area. Is this where the Disney kids came in? Odd building.
