Big Red is in flight in front of the National Constitution Center (worth the entrance fee!). Still not enough wind to put the camera on for some aerial photos though. (Tune in tomorrow for what that means.)
That's OK 'cause we got busted and had to pack up and leave. The ranger was sure there was a rule somewhere against flying kites in the park. He searched the ranger manual on his hand-held device, made a few phone calls to verify, and just decided that the kite was unsafe around so many people and buildings. He was very friendly about it but didn't want his picture taken. He said someone had already put him on YouTube and he didn't want more publicity! That's why his face isn't in the photo.

what a kill-joy that Ranger was. I'm not surprised somebody put him on YouTube. I can't believe he pulled out his manual to look for the rule.
ReplyDeletebummer! those Park Rangers.... :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, it seems the ranger at Ellis Island was a bit more understanding for Scott! He is welcome to bring his kite and camera out here, for I would love some bird's eye view of places I know.
