This morning I drove a mile or so to the empty land across from Peg Leg and took off on flight #75, flying east towards Font’s Point. Looking left, I could see our dispersed camping area. Our RV is the dark one along the right edge of the camping area:
Continuing east, I encountered the badlands:
Turning south, I followed the plateau towards Font’s Point:

The kids completed their Junior Ranger workbooks and received their badges:
When we returned home, we installed the GoPro mount we had printed at the library:
We attached the camera to the mount. We will test it tomorrow:
