Up North: A City Doc's Cure for the 9 to 5: Site of future wind turbine: The highlands of Lot 8

The Creek

This creek wraps itself around the 38 acres of lower camp and defines the border. Acres of hills, lowlands, a bluff, and a meadow. Up from the creek a bit the camp continues with 20 acres of high ridge leading to over 100 acres of deep pine forest, brooks, and marsh.All of it lies in the middle of a 1200 acre woods. Walk north and you're in 6 million Adirondack acres. Bring a camera, you might just see moose, bear, coyote or deer here. Cross the creek and you're in my mini-camp, with guest cabin and road access.

Lot 8 is part of the camp that stretches from the creek, across some forest, a right of way dirt road leading to my 2 neighbors, and up a fairly steep incline to a ridge line. My camp has only a couple hundred feet of ridgeline and abuts my neighbors who's own camps are high atop it. If they decide to build cabins, they'll have to choose high up, or down at the creek by way of my access road.

AdironDoc and Dad brainstorming the wind turbine frame

Hopefully this genny will not be needed often

Blades and turbine mounted to crude frame

90% of this stuff won't end up used for the design, but was needed for trial and error. Thank God Lowes and Home Depot take returns!
