Time for our final 5Things on Friday of 2017. This week we share 5 handy geo tips including: A resource with a TON of US energy data, A fun US Army photo journey, the amazing WA State Bare Earth LiDAR resource, and a fabulous training archive to help you with Story Map customization, and more! Do you have a tip for us for a future edition? Please share with us in a comment below or via Twitter @geojobegis – Happy New Year from our entire team
