    Midwest road trip suggestions

    The Wisconsin Dells area would also be nice, and not far from you at all.

    Mini Split Rock Lighthouse first video

    From what I've read and hearing from others you have to get permission to take off and control from Minnesota state parks.

    Air 2 Rhode Island shoreline sights.

    Love the area! I worked at Electric Boat in the early 80's and lived in North Kingstown and Narragansett. I'm sure lots has changed since I was there.

    Mini Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior

    Thank you! I took the circle tour around the lake back in the 90's so I'm sure I went through your area. Beautiful country up there!

    Mini Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior

    Thank you very much for the info! I didn't take any still images because I wasn't sure if it would interrupt the video. I'll see if I can stitch together acceptable parts of the video, I haven't quite gotten the hang of smoothly flying sideways while keeping the subject in view.

    Mini Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior

    I did some research ahead of time since I live about 8 miles from there. There is a wayside rest/overlook near the lighthouse that is not owned by the state park, so I launched from there. It is exactly .62 miles or 1 km as the crow flies.

    Mini Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior

    It's hiding on the sd card until I can edit it! I'll have to figure out how to post it too.

    Mini Minus 17 F over Lake Superior

    I was near Loveland in the national park about 40 years ago. Beautiful! I decided not to risk the extreme cold anymore after reading about the effects it can have on the av and batteries. I think I got lucky.

    Mini Minus 17 F over Lake Superior

    There are several, the beaver river would be ideal. You can walk down to the mouth and send the drone upstream under the bridge. That's 3 miles from me.
