This could be a great opportunity to connect with mountaintop removal mining activists over mining monitoring with balloons. See:
I went to a similar event a couple years ago with Stewart Long. Is anyone interested in this? I am kind of thinking of going...

Hello,
We are excited to announce that this year's Mountain Justice Summer Action Training Camp will be held on May18th–26th at the Appalachian South FolkLife Center near Pipestem, WV. Come out to learn about mountaintop removal coal mining (MTR) and to get ready for a summer of action! Mountain Justice Summer Action Training Camp is a week-long program of education, workshops, entertainment, sustainable living techniques and direct action training to prepare activists of all ages and walks of life to join the movement to end MTR and to help promote environmental justice for Appalachia and beyond. This year marks the eighth Mountain Justice summer training camp! Visit www.mountainjustice.org for more information, updates, and registration for 2012 summer camp.
We are excited to be returning to the Appalachian South FolkLife Center for camp this year, as we have hosted camp here in previous years. There are great options to choose from for accommodations at the FolkLife Center, including primitive outdoor camping or one of the rustic dorm-style cabins complete with bunks and showers. Visit the Appalachian South FolkLife Center website (www.folklifecenter.org) for more details on this beautiful site!
The schedule for camp will include some of the same amazing workshops that we have offered in the past including MTR 101, Appalachian cultural awareness, water testing and science, Surface Mine Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA), and non-violent direct action training. This year, we have expanded the scope of camp to also include a 'training for trainers' track for experienced activists that want to take their organizing work to the next level. There will also be opportunities to become involved in actions during and following camp (participation in direct action is not required to attend camp).
The final schedule and the registration form will be on-line soon. To be notified when these come out, sign up for our News and Announcement List. Registration fees will be $20 minimum plus $15/day, or $150 for the duration of camp. This includes all workshop activities, three meals a day and a place to sleep. No one will be turned away for the lack of funds--scholarships are available.
There is also more work needed to pull this off! If you'd like to get involved now, click here for the list of working groups and their contacts. For more information, updates, registration, and to learn how to become involved in planning camp this year visit the Mountain Justice website at www.mountainjustice.org. We look forward to seeing you in West Virginia this summer!
Thank you!

I'm very interested! I'd love to get involved with mountain top removal activists interested in aerial mapping...maybe even with UAVs. I just don't think I'll be able to make it in May. Let me know if you hear of anything later in the summer!
Cheers,
Jessi
