A wind turbine is definitely a kind of windmill. Sorry, I should have been more clear.

Back in Atlanta, it would have been bitchin' to sneak the Jeep into the old abandoned prison farm. I did that once on a motorcycle at night, and it was weird when I realized, "holy poo poo, this is an orchard!"

The major fruit tree crop in sc is peaches. We produce more annually than "The peach state" Georgia, and it's pretty much the only commercially viable fruit tree that's happy with our climate.

Welcome to the palmetto state.

I have heard that "peach" in "The Peach State" is actually a corruption of "pitch". Georgia's vast pine forests made it a valuable source of pitch, or pine tar, for shipbuilding back in colonial days.

:siren: Post a picture of your vehicle at the edge of a natural or manmade precipice, as close as you dare :siren:
To start off with, the precipice needs to be at least a yard/meter high, so curbs/kerbs don't count.





This was as close as I dared come to the dropoff into the Chicago River. It's a solid 4-6' down to the water from there.

Safety Dance - sounds like an excuse to go to Badlands ORP in Attica this weekend to me!

Good thoughts -- I've started planning a trip to Cliffs Insane Terrain next month.

More driving for the driving game!

:siren: Post a picture of your vehicle with 1000 feet (330m) elevation change from your home / the place where it usually lives! :siren:

Post a picture and whatever proof you deem appropriate.

I'll allow 100' (33m) by this time Friday if you genuinely live in a Very Flat Place like Kansas or Florida.

My dead pedal is made from 3/4" plywood riv-nutted to the sheet metal and finished with danish oil. The angle is a little off, but it's so much nicer than not having a dead pedal.

There used to be this sweet place in Atlanta called the Australian Bakery. It was there that I had my first (and last, please) steak and kidney pie.

A bunch of variations on this theme, but there's no rule against repeats so far as I can remember.

In the afternoon of May 25th, 1979, American Airlines flight 191, a DC-10, began it's takeoff roll from Chicago O'Hare airport bound for l
Los Angeles. Seconds later, it's #1 engine ripped off of the wing. The crew initiated an emergency climb out, but inadvertantly stalled due to a loss of power. The plane crashed in this field here, killing all 271 people aboard and two on the ground.

In the spirit of this photo, drive at least 10 miles to the site of a tragedy.
