More solar
Last week I was able to visit family on the Central coast of California, San Luis Obispo County. On the way over I encountered a solar farm in construction. www.topazsolar.com & www.firstsolar.com These two links will take you to the web site to gain more information on the project. The project is on the Carriso Plain on route 58 going from Bakersfield, Ca. to San Luis Obispo, Ca. Route 58 is very desolate, you get an idea of how parts of the west were before so much population and all that comes with progress. You also have to make some sharp corners and jog back and forth around the property owners land. Back in the day the roads (wagon trails) didn't cut through a persons property they jogged around those 160 acre homesteads.When I went through there last October the construction hadn't started yet. As I remember, it was just happen stance that I took this route. Last Oct. I missed the exit for route 46 to Paso Robles. Well last week I was planning on going route 101 along the coast, beautiful drive. Some how I missed the exit for route 101 and continued on route 5 over the Grapevine. Of course there was construction going on and the signs were not as clear as they could be. Sometimes the best part of the journey can be getting there.
