interesting sights (& sites) while on sick day travel

Being sick is not fun - especially when it means you miss Spring Barrel Tasting weekend in the Yakima Valley.  :(  I've been at home sick in bed since Thursday night...finally got out of bed today - but only to see my doctor to make sure the antibiotic looks to be doing what it should be.  (Exciting life I lead, huh??!)

That said, the trip to see my doctor was made a bit more interesting when we passed an arm of a giant windmachine heading to the Puget Sound Energy Project in Vantage...it was so large it nearly spanned the length of two trailer beds!















The driver smiled as we passed - the follow caution car had radio'd up to him that we were taking pictures.  Looked like they were getting a kick out of our interest.  LOL  :)

Apparently the Wild Horse Renewable Wind & Solar Energy Center in Vantage, WA, is really pretty cool to tour.  I looked it up tonight, thinking another time when I feel better it would be worth a trip back.  Here's a brochure on the place and here's a video that shows the view from on top of one of the turbines:
