Wind Farm on Mount Davis

Yesterday we decided to make it a low-key day. First stopped in Rockwood where the Allegheny Trail is, a biking/hiking trail, that we will do in next couple of days. Then drove to Mount Davis, the highest elevation in PA, was sorely disappointed because the sign was in a bad way and there was no view. However, turning the corner to go back down we saw a small sign and it said it was wheel chair accessible (huh? a walking trail in the mountain handicapped accessible?) Went on the little walk and came across this sign and a cute little area with benches. Well maintained, only can think that the family has kept up this area. Very sad story - google Baughman Rock and read the entire store.

After leaving there we drove back to the campground, and saw three different wind farms. These puppies are huge! Didn't make any noise, but if they went fast, Dave said birds could not see the blades and fly right into them. I didn't realize I lined up a wind mill with an electric pole.

Today we head to Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob and Fallingwater homes. Weather is pretty warm, not having the a/c on but all the fans. When we got back to the RV yesterday Chip and Grace were laying inside the cabinets, very lethargic, but recouped within an hour. Campground is full, lots of dogs and kids. Noisy during the day, cats don't like that, but I told them to hold their ears if they didn't like it.
