...and sometimes the radios rest

When does a planned POTA activation result in a lack of radio activity? In my case, when the area is surrounded in astounding natural beauty.

Three days ago I drove up to North Carolina for a few days of chasing waterfalls and activating Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests.

I had two QRP rigs and two drones. The QRP rigs never saw the light of day - hiking and drone videography filled my time and I plan to return in the fall, for these and other waterfalls.

Maybe I'll bring a radio; maybe not.

North Carolina's waterfalls have been photographed extensively by all levels of photographers but I've lately gotten interested in using my drones, not as R/C aircraft with a camera onboard, but as airborne cameras that fly.

Potato, patahto. Violin, fiddle.

The falls: Dry Falls, Cullasaja Falls, Whitewater Falls. 

The drones: Mini 4 Pro, Avata 2.
