I had the opportunity to go up to Windrock today, which is something I have been wanting to do for a while. I have seen the wind farm driving to work many times on super clear days, but honestly didn’t know exactly how to get there or how bad the roads were up to the windmills. Luckily though, I’ve got friends in the know and everything finally came together today. I’ll have to admit, it did not disappoint. Those things are MASSIVE… and it got me thinking… I wonder what they look like at night, as in with stars flying by! 😉
The purpose of the trip, as it turns out, was not actually to take pictures of the mills, but to do some video work for a race a buddy of mine and one of his cohorts are putting on. If you’re in the area (or maybe even some people outside the area) you may have seen Facebook postings about an event called War at Windrock put on by Dirty Bird Events. I somehow got conned in to helping put together a promo video (you can tell they really had to twist my arm huh?) for what looks to be one heck of a run. Keep an eye out for that video in the near future! Until then… well… you can look at this neat picture. LOL
