Wind power tour
CHECK OUT THE LINK HERE:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...EE?usp=sharing took a Sunday ride to San patricio county texas. This is across the bay from corpus christi texas . home to part of the texas wind power phenomenon . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papalote_Creek_Wind_Farm 196 wind turbines that can produce 380 megawatts of power, enough to serve approximately 114,000 homes. 109 Vestas 1.65 megawatt , and 87 Siemens 2.3 megawatt . these are badass! ironically, i cut my ride short due to nagging south east winds. so had to stop at odem texas and grab some shrimp and oysters at the railroad seafood. enjoy

Thanks for the pics; I'm quite envious of the shrimp and oysters pic.
I noticed in the pic outside of the gas station that you're paying $1.85. Just across the border in WA State, I'm paying nearly $3.00 per gallon, and I'm paying over $4.00 per gallon on the Canadian side. Sucks.

Sometimes you just have to order the fried . That is a super light batter on the shrimp, reminds me of a place in corpus christi when I was a kid that used crushed French bread crumbs as the batter. Utterly delicious. That plate was a pricy $21 dollars so don't go there very often but so good. One of these days I will take the ferry to Padre island and show you all the beach . With another great seafood place i can take pictures of my food
