Title: Photos from Browns River Bridge and of the Wind Turbine Blades
Post by: MikeF9 on October 24, 2012, 10:31:43 AM
Many, many thanks to Katrina Antonovich for alerting me to the damage on the bridge and giving me a ride to the Milton-Westford Road to get these pictures. All pictures shot with my iPhone.

Ohh boy! Can't wait to be staring at these things on the mountain. Ohh well at least Burlington will benefit from them.

I sure hope those suckers don't let loose and come flying down the hill! :)

Three more blades are coming through Fairfax on Friday between 5:00am and 6:00am (approx). The Fairfax News has been invited to the top of the mountain after (about 8:00am to 10:00am). I'm going to try to get ahold of Mike Cain to see if he wants to join me for photos.

Three more blades safely arrived at the Westford/Milton Road before 6:00am. Mike and I are headed up when the project manager arrives from Waterbury (after 8:00am). It should be a beautiful day on top of Georgia Mountain. May you enjoy yours wherever it may take you.
