Are those solar panels on the roof? BarbD Jan 2025 #7

It's almost time to renew my FAA Remote Pilot (drone) license. Time flies when you are having fun!

Down on the two-track road, to the left of the lookout at the very bottom of the photo. I'm there with the controls to my UAV (drone).

Lots of solar energy collection going on since the lookout is totally off grid.
