I may have to seal up the two dropped spots in the liner with tape to keep the rain out for the winter. I am getting closer and closer to bulldozing this thing. Eight week pool seasons, if that, aren't worth it!

If I sound bitter, I think I am. Unfortunately, it was my idea to buy a house with a pool in western Oregon!
If your going to leave it that way over the winter get two small pieces of that LinerLock and put them in, on each side of the pull. This will keep it from getting any worse. And it probably will over the winter with the extremes in temperature change day after day.

As long as it doesn't get any worse, I've seen pulls that size last for years on older liners when the effort of the fix, wasn't worth its benefits.

I hear ya about filling it in. I've filled a few in over the years too. To do it properly isn't cheap. Tamping every 18" over 8 plus feet is labor intensive. If you don't in a few years you have pool shaped depression in your lawn.
