Echelon, sorry for the delay. I often take my drones down by the Alton Ampitheater. There is much space to fly, over the marina, by the bridge, over the river, etc. Around the ampitheater there are many light poles. I practice flying in and out of the light poles, doing figure eights, circles, etc. It is sharpening my control skills.
One of my friends lost his drone flying up on the bluffs. A gust of wind came out of nowhere and his drone went away. So I would be careful up there. I have access to the family farm, a few hundred acres, where I also fly.
Right now I am spending more time practicing my skills, getting good at the Litchi and DJI Go4 apps, and trying to lay the groundwork for a drone business.
