Larry, flying low in a desert is a lot different than in the midwest where there
are people, towers, power lines, etc. Here in Minnesota, we have over 10,000
lakes and during the winter months we can fly low over them without the fear
of hitting anything as long as we stay out of the way of cars, ice houses, and
people. I don't think you are as much at risk.

FWIW I got a =9CCen-tech 4 i n 1 Portable Power Pack=9C from
HFT a year ago for about $50. It=99s great but heavy. Has the
small spotlight but also an air compressor, built-in; most convenient!
I carry it in my car & most often its used to rescue broken=down
motorists. Or at least their cars.

Definitely true. I admit to being both blessed and spoiled.
