Highland Hammock Annex Park

 Highland Hammock State Park has several areas - the main park offers camping in both developed sites and primitive areas.  Tram tours run twice a day, a CCC museum, camp store, and picnic pavilions are featured in this part of the park. 

We discovered a picnic area with a small lake, scrubby flatwood area, restrooms, and covered picnic area a few miles from the main park.  It has become our favorite place to practice with our drone.

Today we surprised a man and wife who were fishing on the lake when our drone flew over.  We're getting more bold and less fearful of drowning the drone or flying it into the trees of the forest.  

I went to talk to them to assure them our intentions were good and asked them about fishing while Ron ran the drone.  Today wasn't a good fishing day - only one Gar, which they didn't keep - but they said they have caught monstrous bass in the lake in the past.

The picnic area is ideal for launching the drone as it has a cement apron in front of a table and benches where we can sit.

We're getting better at taking pictures of ourselves with the drone.  It can be quite exciting moving the toggles too fast and sending the drone speeding in the wrong direction, bolting into the air out of sight, or plummeting toward the ground.  So far, so good - still on our first set of wings and toggles.

Information sign for the day.  We've been looking diligently, but so far haven't spotted either variety of skunk - or even smelled skunk or seen any as road kill.
