The weatherman reported Friday night that the fall foliage would be at its peak this weekend. Sarah and I woke up with one thing on our mind. Take advantage of the beautiful autumn weather while going on a hike! We wanted to check out somewhere new so we opened the Alltrails app looked for something within 2 hours of Harrisburg. The online pictures made Tank Hollow stand out from the rest. 2 hours and a few car duets later we arrived. We Parked at the trail head at the first parking lot. We then had about a .75 mile walk to the trail head. Next time I think we’ll park at the trail head. It saves so much time. At first we walked past the trail head as it’s poorly marked. So I put the drone up to 200 feet attempting to locate the trail. Luckily it worked! We walked back to the trail head and down the narrow trail to the overlook. I decided to only use my drone here. The takeoff area was very small and uneven. I was worried about annoying the other families with the drone. However once I was in the air you couldn’t see or hear the drone. They actually seemed entertained by it. Once in the air I was high above the Lehigh river. I definitely got some great shots and it was only my second time out with the drone. So the trail was beautiful, the weather was amazing, and my drone didn’t fly away uncontrollably into the sunset. All in all it was a great day.
