What park do you fly out of? Was thinking of going up to Rancocas Creek sometime, but am not familiar with the area.
Thanks,
Phil

Thanks for the info. It'll be a few weeks before I can get up that way. Just need to keep it out of that water trap you got in the middle of the field ?
 
I’ll come check that area out once schools out of session. I need to find some new locations to fly... preferably not over water for once lol


I just thought of another cool spot in my town. Sayreville, nj Bailey Park which only has a set of swings so no one is ever there. Once you go above the trees you can see what’s left of the old Hercules explosives plant.. it blew up twice and now looks like a town used to be there pretty neat site.
 
My father worked at Hercules for 44 years. I also gave it a shot out of high school, only lasted a few months. It was a huge complex. Aside from making black powder during war time, they made nitrated cotton, or Nitrocellulos - highly explosive. It was a family company, and they had picnic grounds and regular activities for the families - very sad to see it in ruins and listed as a superfund site.

Do you happen to have any pictures of the plant before it was destroyed ? I love before and after shots. It blew up twice too I heard.
