On January 24, while Elyse was at MAGFest, I went up to Pennsylvania for some wintry fun. Most of the fun occurred in the Harrisburg area, as I had a few things in mind that I wanted to photograph, mostly with the drone. The trip was inspired by my friend Andrew Reams, who recently flew his own drone over Three Mile Island, and got some shots that I was not able to get when I flew around that site in 2021 due to DJI-imposed geofencing that was in place at the time (I have complained about this on here in the past). Now, after verifying that the geofences were indeed gone, I wanted to give it another flight and get the shots that I had wanted to get before but was locked out of getting. I couldn’t justify an entire trip just for Three Mile Island, though, so I did what I usually do, and came up with other photo targets to fill out an entire day. The final result wasn’t necessarily the most efficient trip, but I thought it turned out well, as the snow on the ground made the landscape look different than it usually does.
My first stop was fairly random: the interchange between the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and I-83 in New Cumberland.
