Not without knowing precisely where (even if Stuart, VA is tiny, it would be helpful to know which side of town is your temporary backyard.) And not until tomorrow evening even it you tell me where immediately. I'd bet someone else comes along willing to do it before then.

I'm assuming you already checked it's within the zone of VA for which LiDAR point cloud data exists and is freely available.

I can help - I won't fine tune settings though.

I could not spot any lidar data from there. But my skills are pretty limited.

Good point - It looks like the collection from 2018 hasn't been published yet.

Kartapullautin - software for automatically generating something as close to an orienteering map as possible from LiDAR point cloud data. Given good data and depending on the nature of the terrain, the result is often good enough to use for training.

Thanks for the offers, everyone! You are correct, in that this piece of Virginia still does not have recent LiDAR data.

If you move to countryside, I recommend you get food that grows in the backyard or walks on its own, just in case this isn't over in a month or two.

We got it covered. My kid got a job collecting duck eggs in the mornings.

Boris you have to be careful picking your Airbnb locations. Absence of LIDAR data is a major drawback.
