BadNick

Nope, but I'll have to keep those places in mind for another time. I'm not sure I found the burial hill unc mentioned so more hunting required for that...maybe next full moon I'll find it. Tul, I never heard of that park but now I know it's the largest national park in Russia and in Europe, and among many other notable animals to be found there are flying squirrels.

Tully Mars

Never trust a flying squirrel.

the tower at the university of texas?

"Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 – August 1, 1966), as a student at the University of Texas at Austin, killed 14 people and wounded 32 others during a shooting rampage on and around the university's campus. Three were killed inside the University's tower and ten killed from the 28th floor observation deck of the University's 307 foot administrative building on August 1, 1966; one died a week later from her wounds. The tower massacre happened shortly after Whitman murdered his wife and mother at their homes. He was shot and killed by Austin Police Officer Houston McCoy,[1] assisted by Austin Police Officer Ramiro Martinez."

The wind turbine farms near McCamey, Texas?

unc,
I recall when that happened, I was getting ready to be a senior in high school. But I would not want to be where that crazy fuck was...sorry, not there.

Tul,
I believe that location is actually a bit too far south of where I am, but since I am not far from there and I am at a wind farm, I want to give you this win.


I'm at the Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center, currently the largest wind farm in the world.

In fact, I was surprised that U.S. currently has the highest installed capacity of wind power in the world.

The United States was the second largest installed capacity of wind power, after Germany until 2008, when it surpassed Germany with the American Wind Energy Association stating that the United States had 21,000 MW of wind energy capacity at the end of 2008. A total of 8,538 MW were added in 2008. At the end of March 2008 the United States wind power capacity was 18,302 MW, which is enough to serve 4.9 million average households. Currently, the largest wind farm in the US – and the largest in the world – is Florida Power & Light's Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center, located in Taylor County, Texas. The Horse Hollow project operates 421 wind turbines and has a capacity of 735 megawatts. Prior to Horse Hollow's completion, the largest US wind farm was the Stateline Wind Project on the Oregon-Washington line, with a peak capacity of 300 megawatts.

cheating a bit since this pic is nor really Horse Hollow...but you get the idea:
