And just when I thought it couldn’t get any prettier, Mt. Hood made a grand entrance.
The rims of both the Washington and Oregon sides of the gorge are littered with the highest concentration of wind turbines I have ever seen.
I happened to meet a guy at the laundromat tonight whose job it is to make repairs to blades on wind turbines when they are damaged by lightning strikes. That entails climbing the ladder inside the wind turbine tower, locking the blades in place, and repelling down to make the repair on the damaged blade. The outer skin of the blades is constructed of fiberglass and he uses a resin to make the repair similar to what you might use to repair a gash in a fiberglass boat.
Once again, the road construction crew summed up my day perfectly!
