Decommissioned power station sans tall stacks, PA

For comparison, check out the stacks from this July ’22 post. I missed the stacks coming down, but I heard a laborer died in the midsummer folIowing that drone session, and I felt sort of bad about that and did not follow-up on the rescheduled smokestack demolition.

I am taking advantage of the nice weather to fly often. I spent a lot of time outdoors recently to improve my health, too. I love being outdoors. I rode trails with my son, brought the drone, a first on bikes. I ride in small local parks, or along the rail trail systems. You are not allowed to film in State Park in PA, save for a handful on the East side of the state. I am interested in tethered radiosondes and inflatable, solar powered designed that can be released and pass unobtrusively over protected state and federal property. Not that I have those. You know park services would love to have that eye in the sky. I just know they would be useful for monitoring bone spread, migratory patterns, diseases of plants or animals, spread of invasive species, construction, and events. Release the bats!
