BOYS OF SPRING

We rode with warm winds and light traffic along the back roads between Dumas, TX and Guymon, OK.  Our scenery was farmers (aka agri-biz) and cattle feedlots in full swing.  Peanuts, cotton, corn and beef on the hoof, soon to be in a market near you. 

Multiple hundreds of wind turbines, the large 100 ft blade-span type, slicing the air with hoarse growling wooshing sounds, producing somewhere around 50,000 KW a year, tower above the grazing cattle and give testament of the slowly changing attitude for energy production.  

We found a nice spot outside of Guymon, OK. to settle the rig for the evening.  It's a complimentary spot, supplied by the city on the fringe of their activities park. 

With the temperature in the low 80's, "The Boys of Spring" were out doing their thing.
