A critical component of your Part 107 exam and piloting is an understanding of airspace. To determine where you can legally and safely operate your drone as well as understand what entities may require notification of your drone activity, you will need to consult an aeronautical chart.

Every year in the state of Colorado, from September to October, tarantulas pop out of their burrows to navigate the high desert in search of a mate. It’s been on my Colorado bucket list for a long time and this year all the stars aligned to make the trip happen.

My goal for the year - among many others - was to learn to fish. There’s nothing like learning in the moment, so for my first chapter in this Touch Grass series, I wanted to try some of the higher altitude lakes in the Poudre Canyon. First stop, Zimmerman Lake.

The “Touch Grass” series is a look into my personal adventures shot from the ground and from the air and is a true love letter to all things Colorado (and maybe some other places too).
