The weather continued to be unusually warm and dry so I took the opportunity to drive down to Moab Utah. From Moab, it is approximately a 12-mile drive northeast along the Colorado River to Fisher Towers. My plan was to fly my drone around the towers. However, when I arrived at the parking area and […]
