I still have footage that I haven't published of several courses (Buttonwood area, R/G Fox @ Fenney, and north of 27/441 and some of the championship courses) that haven't been high priorities lately. If the poor weather continues I'll probably put some time into them and post the videos.

Thanks for your dedication on Our community.

My altitude limit by the FAA is 400 ft., the footage at Hawkins and St C. are at 350 +/- ft. so that gives you a pretty good idea of the max views I can get. As far as the prisons and mines go, these are no-fly zones by the FAA and the state of Florida. I have not desire to lose my license or do time in jail to get shots of these areas.

The most up-to-date maps I can find are at https://www.arcgis.com/index.html

Here's a map that is relatively up to date.

That north ramp is very steep. Bicyclists who want to cross the bridge will have to gear down and go slow to make it up. Might the extra lane be for "slow moving vehicles" ? At the top of the ramp bicyclists would merge with the golf carts.

The south ramp is much longer and less steep. No need for the "slow moving vehicle" lane.

Personally, I think your speculation makes a lot of sense. I think a lot of bike riders will want to cross the bridge.

I doubt a lot of walkers will want to cross the bridge.

For those of us who like to walk, it is easy to drive to the Bradford pool, park our car, and go for a very long walk around the lakes with no car or golf cart to interfere with us.

Look forward to seeing more. Love to share them with friends back home.
Thank you

Your videos provide the connection between those of us north of 44 to whats happening south. It really helps me to understand the big picture. Thanks so much for the work you do.

Thanks. Enjoyed seeing what I cannot see from the ground. The extra lane on that north ramp of CC bridge is puzzling. Really appreciate your insights. Liked the map in the lower left corner.

I use another site https://www.arcgis.com/ that appears to be using the same map images. Both are about year or more out of date but much better than Google or other services.
