Drumn
Wind Farm and Lunch
June,
26 2011
The Almekinder’s
and Boudway’s had made the arrangements for our
June tour which started with lunch at the Redwood. We had 21 members and 6 guests
present. All totally enjoyed our
lunch then it was outside for a few minutes as we were ahead of time for
our tour of the Farm.
In the parking lot was
Drew Frech’s ’39 V12, Carolyn Burke’s 1949
Convertible and Bob Fordyce’s 1956 Patrician. The Almekinder’s
cheated and had left their ’50 in their driveway next door. Bill handed out the directions to Drumn’s and said it would take about 25 minutes to get
there from the Redwood.
As we neared the farm it was a climb up
to the top of the hill. The wind turbine company had put in the road as
they were working so it was a great drive old or modern. We were greeted by
two generations of the family and after a short introduction it was time to
board the hay wagon. The entire tour was over an hour and took us right up
next to the turbines. We got the history on how they were constructed, the
weights of the various sections and the environmental impact of the
turbines. We all got an education on
the new technology. Here are a few pictures to show everyone.
Bob
Tylor’s joint Meet with ACD
May
29 2011
It was rainy day Ed and Bonnie made it to the event despite some
reservations about the condition of her legs. They met up with Suzanne
Seeley and Bob at Panera Bread’s for lunch and there were about 12 cords
there. She sent me some lovely pictures. There
was also some Duesenbergs.
