I was about to ask... my opinion (Public Board)
The trails at the top of the mountain overlook the reservoir. A great place to launch drones.
They are very steep and fallen trees block the trail so you can't use a vehicle on the trail past a certain point. Its a fairly popular hiking trail, but not something anyone would want to do at night. Its very steep and treacherous. I've only hiked my yard part of the way one time and it was hard going back down. There is no way I'd ever be able to scale a mountain, even in my younger days. I know my limitations.
Tonight, the State Police are surveilling the woods with their chopper behind my house slowly and discreetly. There are no drones tonight but I still don't like this whole scenario. Its obvious to me that something big is going down if they're involved. I'm just not allowed to know what it is. I'm supposed to just trust they have this situation under control?
In my opinion, these drones have a purpose. I've watched them do the same routine around the reservoir for a month and at the time thought it was a government security function. This is kinda creepy and I don't like it. At least they're starting to take it serious.
