Wind Farm Visit

For the last few years, we could see a row of windmills perched on ridge to the east of the base. We had no idea how big they were or exactly how far away they are. We did some research and found out that each blade is 115 feet long! We looked on Google maps and found that the closest one to the base is 13 miles away. This evening, we drove out to the ridge to get a close look. These things look like they are out of a Star Wars movie. They are huge and very high tech looking. There are over 130 of them along this ridge. Very spectacular.
