I know you are asking about this board, but since you are on MavicPilots also, Click on "Members" and then Click on "Member's Map…" Check it out and you might find some new flying friends.
Funnily enough, I just met a "neighbor" for the first time, and one of his friends that was over at his place is into drones (long story short).
I certainly hope to meet more people in the area that fly! Maybe even find (or create) some type/kind of group/organization/club/etc!
I just found it pretty amazing, the situation I just described as, I'm literally "in the middle of nowhere", and my closest "neighbor" is around a half mile away (this one is much further)!
