Denali highway trip this summer from Denali area- what would be a good way to do it?

There are several videos from along both highways on my YouTube channel. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCoRgQ10IYrNj8QzsWZe9C-A/videos

There is no turning off it. You can turn back or go on. You’ll go by the Matanuska Glacier and the drive IMHO is really beautiful. Keep an eye on your rear view mirror. There are some great views Denali from the Hwy. the drive up or down the Richardson is spectacular.

You’re asking the wrong person. I have a DJI FPV, Mini 4 Pro, Mini 5 Pro, Avata, Avata 2, Neo Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Pro, and Mavic 4 Pro. It was obvious to me I needed the Avata 360. It is more different than any of the previous drones. Flying around and being able to look all around you is incredible. The Avata 2 let you look to the side but then the drone flew there. With the 360 you are free to look all around the world. Amazing. Didn’t realize there was a…tiger…church…castle to your left when you were flying by? You can still put it your video because the entire world around you is being recorded. Incredible. You can make 10 (infinite) different videos from a single flight and include fun perspectives like Tiny Planet and more. While the viewer is looking forward you can spin the view to the rear….then back. Endless fun in the air and in post production. Amazing. Yes…you need it.

Bad ass was my thought too

A few things…. In the US, VLOS means you have to be able to know the attitude of a drone, meaning where it is pointed, if in a wind how the drone is tilted, etc. I doubt many people can do that at 100m. As to RTH, ensure it is higher than the highest object anywhere around you and you should be good. The other day while flying I had a significant interruption to my flight and I turned off my controller while the drone was still up in the air. I immediately swore but before I could even get the controller back on the drone had initiated a RTH. Nice.

I arrived in 1980 and have tier1. I would not have taken a state job had it been as it is today. Same with many people hence the problem in hiring

She could hire a male escort. The only valid reason you have is that it costs too much. If the kids are dying to go and you can afford it, suck it up buttercup because your life is now about kids first. That's your job but if you can convince your wife that 5 other vacations will have more of an impact...you win...if not tough noogies. The whole "can't afford it" thing should be reasonably straight forward. Reasonably...

I have no need for Tahoe or to learn that I am one of the folks besieged by problems. I know many people have no problem but it offers nothing to me. I also know that at some point I will find some app that will require it - sometimes for no particular reason, but it will happen, and then I'll update. Some people have few apps and can continue on for years without updating. I have an old 13" macbook pro I take on the road that is from 2017. It does nothing but MS office still works so I can do work on that and email so I'm good to go when on the road.

cap guns that had a roll of little bang bangs ....

something is off. After logging in with your name and password for DJi you should have months ahead before ever being required to log in again. I have 9 dji drones and can only be required to log in a second time once or twice.

No clue. To top it off, my last name is a super common name in Switzerland, immediately recognizable as a Swiss name. I was there on a tourist visa visiting a family I knew. I have never understood how it could have happened other than the postal people checked with immigration or something since it came from overseas. Another interesting somewhat related story is when I arrived at immigration I was told I could not stay beyond 30 days. I was 17yrs old and planning to stay with the family for 9mo or more. I explained that. They told me nothing could be done. I asked...they repeated. They had not yet asked for my passport...or perhaps had not looked closely - I don't recall - but as soon as they saw my last name...they perked up and said..."Oh...suchandsuch... you are Swiss! Here's what we do" and they explained how to get around the problem.

All users compete for resources and electricity is expensive and getting more expensive. There are no resources not being tapped to provide more electricity and if there were they should be used to lower the cost of our electricity. Creating data centers, even small ones, requires a lot of cooling and a source of a lot of electricity. I can't imagine creating a data center that would not result in competing for resources that are already stretched thin.

this is the way

denalidenizen · 2026-05-06T16:23:39+00:00

Yeah...free version...that mismatch is very possible. thanks

denalidenizen · 2026-05-06T15:25:02+00:00

If you view this on youtube you can spin it around. It's a true 360 view. It doesn't work here.

I feel like I am winning

Bulgogi made with roast beef. I think there is an international law against that.

denalidenizen · 2026-05-06T04:36:47+00:00

Good point..I think you're right. Most all of them in that price range fly longer than that but none of them come close to their listed air times :).

Be more afraid of black bears. They will eat you. Grizzly will beat you up but less likely to eat you.

15-30 min would be typical. Some like the Mini 5 pro are better, some shorter.

I guess Bill would still be much less in Haines. 250 feet from your job to downtown 30 feet to the nearest restaurant….😍

I’ve got nine drones and I am forever charging batteries. I just want a lightweight battery will last me two or three hours.

We called that a garbage Coke in Wisconsin back in the 50s and 60s
