We passed a lot of trains along the way. This was a freight train but most were coal trains. |
 |
After an overnight stop in a K-Mart parking lot, we arrived at the
Double Nickel Campground
 for a few days. The McFalls were
making a short trip to visit one of their children.

There is Linda & Larry's rig next to Red Rover.
The Double Nickel let us use two sites to hold our rig. |

During a morning walk, we had a sighting. We have never seen the rotor blades from the new style windmills.
We couldn't have imagined that they were so large.
Not only were the rotor blades large, these special trucks were carrying two each. |

The first truck had a problem clearing the road signs and light post on the far side of the road.
Not only did the truck have to back up, the driver had to steer the wheels under the trailer to make the turn. |
 |
The second truck tired to swing the turn farther by coming across the road before turning. |

Here you get a little idea of steering the wheels under the trailer to make the turn. |

You can see how far the second truck cut the turn. |

Truck three, after watch the first two trucks, tried a different approach. Truck three pulled across the road onto the on-ramp road. |
 |
Then truck three using trailer wheel steering, backed the rig onto the road. |
