Texas Water Safari 2023 Part 4 - The Final Video From the Staples Dam Checkpoint & a drone lesson

This Part 4 video features the last batch of canoes we recorded passing thru the Staples Dam checkpoint as part of the 2023 Texas Water Safari. There were some other stragglers, but we had to stop & enter the official arrival / departure data into the online spreadsheet for the downstream checkpoints to read. The owners of Staples Dam, run a campground & river access area under the name of "Best Dam Spot" and they book thru HipCamp.
