Nice vantage point. 

Been driving through that way for most of my working life and I still couldn't figure out the road that you are on. 

Gonna have to start looking once I'm on that pass again.

If I have to guess, I will say near that east break check area up the road a little.

I considered investing in some land right there at the windmills but changed my mind.

The location is where if you're traveling eastbound, you're going under the railroad track over pass and if traveling westbound, you're going over the railroad track..

If I buy land there and actually build a home, I probably get a wind turbine to power my home too if it's available for private homes ...like these ones also off of the 580 ;D:

This is why I can not enjoy nice things.  If you don't know, you wouldn't be scared but once you know, all bets are off.   

This iconic pix here is of 2 engineer kids from a dutch country.  While working on these turbine, a fire broke out so they had no choice but to climb up higher.  Both guy hugged before one guy jumped to his death and the other guy tries to climb on down and got burnt to death. 

I may not see our windmills in the right light again.
