I’m the luckiest person in the world to have the experiences I’ve had on the road for the last 8 months. With the exception of the wind in the first month of traveling, weather has been amazing – you can see how gorgeous it’s been in my videos. That’s due in part to using weather apps to plan my travel and avoiding bad weather as much as possible.
However, things don’t always go perfect. In this short video, signs that said, “Scenic Drive” took me off course to disappointing results. The first one was educational but not as scenic as the sign indicated, the second one was not as spectacular as I’d hoped.
Were these two drives worth the time and gas? What do you think?

Wait until you see the trucks hauling the blades. Soooo long. The base is like a small rv size, way up there.
Birds fly by echo location, much like bats. The vibration and noise from the turbines messes that up. They’re not dumb. They’re encountering manmade technology God didn’t equip them to handle! Successive generations do learn to avoid the turbines but please don’t belittle the birds!
Probably a dumb bird, shouldn't pass on his genetics lol omg I died lol
I been there . Stupid people are putting these things up .
Though it can appear as though they’re turning at a slow, almost relaxed pace, wind-turbine blades actually move very rapidly: The outer tips of some turbines' blades can reach speeds of 179 mph (288 kilometers per hour) and can easily slice off an eagle's wing. Go stand next to one and you will be able to see how fast they’re actually moving.
When hawks, falcons and eagles are flying, they're usually looking down at the ground for prey, not glancing up to watch for a knifelike blade whipping down on them from above.
Just a note…bird brained doesn't mean brilliant. But I agree, birds are not falling victim to wind towets.
Wind turbulence would definitely affect their flight
Birds are MORE AFFECTED by 5g towers
…….if so, you should probably not pass on his genetics!!! 🤦♀️ Actually giggled out loud on that statement!! 🤣🤣🤣 May have to agree with you in that!! 🤷♀️
Those things are putting off electromagnet waves. No mother nature there.
For sure, God given energy. Interesting that wind power was used centuries ago. Not to generate electricity, though.
I saw wind turbines on the mountainsides at the California border. I thought my van was falling apart, so I went really slow. Then I got the bright idea of rolling my window down. It was the wind turbines, not my van They were crazy loud there!
Wind turbines have nothing to do with God. They are ugly make noise and are non recyclable. They mess up the poor birds who are from God, and not man made like a wind turbine.
Very interesting 😷
You were in my area. Oh well, currently working graveyard so probably wouldn't have met up easily. Safe journey.
I think the windmills are beautiful. The Stuff about them killing birds is petroleum industry sponsored propaganda.
There’s nothing free about those hideous turbines. They are about as beautiful as a billboard. It’s all about greed and money.
I never realized how big those windmills are but up close in your video they're huge. Thanks for sharing Jan stay safe take care and God bless you and your dog s
You were in my neck of the woods! Before it lost its top in 1980, MSH was visible from the town where I live. And it's visible from select locations nearby now – on clear days.
You should try St. Helen's in the spring. Beautiful.
That's because the type that does harm birds are set up differently with wider blades and word differently. Which is the whole reason we have those beautiful ones you saw on that beautiful drive. And I'm sorry, but nothing in here looked anything but amazing to me, I don't understand what the problem is or why you wouldn't think it's just a scenic as any other type of scenic route. I mean I don't love the routes through the florida swamps, but I can accept it's beautiful and other people enjoy it. Personally a field of wind turbines or solar panels sounds absolutley wonderful. Esp compared to driving past the homes of migrant farm workers and seeing the beautiful fields next to their hovels.
Where had you heard that these windmills will killing birds? I had never heard that before.
