We drove (in the Toad) down through the Blue Mountains through Oregon and on into Idaho:
It truly was a beautiful drive!
We saw this most interesting train on the way. The cargo consisted of the huge blades for power generating windmills:
Each blade was balanced on THREE railroad cars with some overlap of each on the cars both in front and back of it!
We will be in Nampa, Idaho the next three days attending the annual meeting of Pacific Northwest Mennonite Conference at Nazarene College Conference Center.
PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brother Patrick!
The last summer I worked for AHEC I was in Dayton for a week and they were building wind turbines on the hills above the town. One morning, while standing out on the sidewalk waiting for a ride, three trucks drove down the main street, each carrying a blade which were all a block long! You see the turbines from afar and just don't realize the size of them until you see them up close.
