I made this trip last year. The diferance is I came from the west. Most of my travels were through the Rocky Mtns.

The road to Dans place is something that memories are made of. I observed the old farm water pumpers and the giant comercial wind machines as you did on your trip.

I think I only saw 3 RE consummer size wind machines on the hole trip. I seemed strange because in the wide open expances of the west there many signs that said "Warning Strong winds next 15 miles" and they were right. The old motor home was being blown all over road. And Yet at the ranches and farms in the middel of all this wind power no wind generators, Thats a BIG ???

Whats wrong with these people?

Anyway the greating at the OP HQ was hosted by some of the nicest people on the planet. The dogs are even real freandly.

I was instantly given a bottel of pop and then a great tour.

The new shop is DIY heaven.

Thanks again Dan B I'll never forget that very special trip and visit.

Rich I'm very eager to see part 2 and more I hope. Thanks for sharing.
