West Texas Wind Generators

[chemisti]

I typically hang out in the Sports forum. However, my wife and I recently mad a little jaunt to Carlsbad NM via I-20.

The windmill (field, farm, area???) is huge. Runs about 60 miles either side of I-20 between Abilene and Big Spring.

I'm not a native Texican - this was our first foray west of Ft. Worth. Very scenic country out there - if you're willing to enjoy open vistas and a wide variety of landscapes and ecosystems.

Yes - the sky was that blue and the clouds were that puffy. Beautiful

A couple of quick shots:

Ignore the ugly guy, please.

Then you had a real treat didn't you? You need to catch Marfa and head south to Big Bend the next time. :)

You should have seen how scenic is was before they built all of the freeking windmills

Before the windmills the utility companies used to find the most scenic views and string wires across them!
