UPDATE; .... I'm flying tomorrow so the title to the thread is still accurate. Ha.!!
Needless to say when my plans to fly yesterday fell through the cracks I was discouraged. Negative thoughts all day and night. I woke this morning feeling the same way. So, I got on giggle (google maps) this morning fully knowing there are a lot of open spaces around this place that I've called home for all of 6 months. I decided to load up my rockets and mantis launch pad and take a ride 'up north' to photograph the rockets in a really nice setting. Let me just say this ride took me into the High Plains of South Dakota where Agriculture is at work.!! Miles and miles of open fields like I've never seen before. Then I noticed that some of the fields were tilled to dirt.!! No brown grass anywhere in 1200+ foot fields. I knocked on a door and nice woman answered and directed me to the 'grounds keeper.' Bingo. I got permission to fly in a 1200ft. field that is tilled flat with nothing but soil. What a turn of events. From down in the dumps to utter joy with one word. Yes. Yes you can fly in the fields. Choose the one you need.!! Wow.
The winds are going to be 10mph all day from the southwest. Temps are headed to 55 degrees over the course of the day. Blue skies. I'm taking everything I've got. Here's a few of the pictures I got along the way. Game on. For sure this time. Yes.
