Hello ? from beautiful southern Oregon.

I’ve had my MA2 (bought from Amazon) for about 3 weeks now and haven’t even taken it out of my den yet. I’m just a little worried about flying it outdoors before I fully understand ALL the pre-flight settings. I’ve read the manual several times now, and frankly I just don’t know if I’m ready for the first attempt outside. Any suggestions where I should make my first flight? I’m about 2 miles from our airport, so I really don’t know exactly where I should go or if I can actually “fly” this drone safely. I’m kind of worried about crashing into trees or power lines. We have some beautiful lakes, but again, I’m worried about losing it in the water. I guess my question is are there any suggestions on an exact location for the maiden flight? Should I take it to the high school football field and just fly a short distance and a low altitude, or perhaps a public park, or should I just bite the bullet and go to one of our large lakes? Sorry for the rambling... I just don’t want to throw $800 out the window by losing my drone on it’s first flight.
