We found some more rough road, thankfully I had the hubs locked in. As we were rolling east, I noticed a row of grey columns appearing out of the haze. We had rolled into the Smoky Hills Wind Farm Project! I had never run onto them from the northwest before and definitely never in a foggy/hazy...

From Wilson we went north and then headed back east through the back roads. I found some killer roads! On one hill, the M1009 would not climb any farther, it was spinning away and eventually lost ground. I had to get out and lock in the hubs. The boys had to play... It was a neat hill, a pretty...
