Drones in the Wilderness

Post by AZLumberjack »

I recently found a high quality drone video on youtube flying around the Dacite Cliffs by the Don's Camp. This is a 15 minute video so grab a cold one, sit back and enjoy the ride.

I'm not sure what the regulations are for flying drones in the Superstition Wilderness, but I heard that they don't look favorably on them and a permit would almost be assured. I would check with the Mesa Ranger District for a clarification if anyone is thinking about using one in the Superstitions.

On every trip into the Superstitions, I find another Gold Mine. Today the mine was filled with Memories. I can not wait for the next trip.

Best advice I can give is whatever you do, don't post it at HikeAZ because if it turns out you accidentally hiked somewhere verboten, Cactus Cat will be happily turning you in.

What total moron posts illegal acts on HAZ without expecting to be turned in? There are thousands of unnamed lurkers that have never posted a single thing but read your triplogs.

@kenjacobsen
Did you get in trouble for your illegal act? And somehow that is my fault? Fine with me.
