Where in the World #211 - Page 2 - A Meeting of Minds

***Hans*** · Feb 26 2009, 03:00 PM

Somewhere on the Edwards Plateau?

Greenrider Tresa · Feb 26 2009, 04:41 PM

Hans; No

P'ter · Feb 26 2009, 04:41 PM

Jefferson County?

Greenrider Tresa · Feb 26 2009, 09:39 PM

P'ter: No

jube · Feb 27 2009, 01:44 AM

Canyon?

NB
I'll take the cowboy hat off Hans for giving me a good hint, just then (No folks he didn't do nothing, he's completely innocent) but I did send a pm, for just in case to GT

I'm a total nutter, I've been to Melbourne and back in one day and so completely tired, it's not funny and yes, I could be wrong too.

P'ter · Feb 27 2009, 01:52 AM

Clay?

***Hans*** · Feb 27 2009, 04:40 AM

Is it above a horizontal line that's drawn over Dallas?

Gee, you had to chose one of the biggest states, right?

AnnMarie · Feb 27 2009, 10:40 AM

Is in on the Gila River?

Greenrider Tresa · Feb 27 2009, 02:58 PM

P'ter and AnneMarie: No AM, the Gila doesn't even enter Texas from what I can tell.
Hans and Jube; Yes

And Hans, it wouldn/'t be any fun if I'd used a tiny one like Rhode Island, would it?

Someone was putting up pics of a lot of windmills in Texas, and that gave me the idea to find one ot use.

AnnMarie · Feb 28 2009, 12:28 PM

The Rio Grande then?

Greenrider Tresa · Feb 28 2009, 01:59 PM

No... that would still be south of a horizontal line from Dallas.

***Hans*** · Feb 28 2009, 02:21 PM

Above a line from Lubbock to Wichita Falls?

Lara · Feb 28 2009, 04:26 PM

Pal Duro Canyon windmill?

Greenrider Tresa · Feb 28 2009, 08:47 PM

Hans, yes
Lara: You've found it!

First pic's from the cliffs, second one's a view from the rim.

***Hans*** · Mar 1 2009, 04:26 AM

Well done, Lara

Lara · Mar 1 2009, 06:06 AM

Thank you - I was lucky with my keywords this time!

P'ter · Mar 1 2009, 09:36 AM

Have we sorted out whether it's a wind-pump or a wind-generator? I doubt that it's a wind-MILL!

Greenrider Tresa · Mar 1 2009, 02:29 PM

Does it really matter, P'ter?

Perhaps you'd like to do your own research, though evidently there's still a ranch with a working wind-whatever. heh

Btw, Jube sent a correct PM before Lara got it.

jube · Mar 2 2009, 01:22 AM

This particular type of windmill would be used to pump water (having lived on a farm

) - mainly bore water or similiar. This is what G.T. was showing.

The type that is for electric generators are more of this type:

They're called wind turbines. Food for thought, P'ter

Greenrider Tresa · Mar 2 2009, 02:17 PM

Thanks, Jube.

jube · Mar 3 2009, 01:31 AM

Is okay, G.T.
