Zoom up to 2,000 feet and it doesn't get much less cryptic:

Harrumph. This was flight planning, Ken. I was looking for Gator Field. Spotted this thing first and it was more interesting.
Normally when flying to Searey Central from Virginia I stick to the beaches until Jacksonville and then turn southwest when I get to that big 1500 foot tall airplane-collector tower just south of FD86 (Deep Woods Ranch). Pinecastle is about 16 nm WNW of the tower, buried inside the R-2910 Restricted areas.
But I've flown fairly close to the Pinecastle Impact Range a couple of times--when SEALORD said the Restricted areas were cold--but without seeing it. (Down low through Lake George is gorgeous!) So it caught my eye in Google's sat photo.
(In the "Pinecastle-Tower" image, the tower is lower-right, just above the "1" in "1 mile".)
But you're right about the free time. I'd be flying instead today, except for 600 feet, 1.5 miles, and cold rain.

More interesting than Gator Field? Harrumph. Welcome to Florida Professor.

Sorry, Bill, I didn't mean any slight. I just meant Pinecastle was more interesting at the time. My very first SeaRey ride was at Gator, and THAT was INTERESTING! At one point Kerry swooped down and crossed a small lake nearby at about 1 foot AWL, flew through some cattails on the far side--they brushed the hull--pulled up into a very tight wingover, back down through the cattails, and landed on the water, full stop. That was the most interesting flight I'd ever had in my life.

I didn't mean YOUR free time, Don! I meant the folks who place notes on the planet. It's exactly the mischief enlisted guys will do.
...like...oh, "we have a Duce and a half full of sponges we need to dispose of...wonder if we can make a pond disappear?" Yeah, you
can.

Ha! That's almost as good as watching some Army engineers in Korea make two bulldozers disappear in a mud puddle. A few days later they brought a bigger dozer to make them reappear.
