The Windmills of Altamont Pass

by Karnubawax - last update: Oct 15, 2004

Get to work, Don Quixote!

Here's some pics of the windmills. Photos don't do 'em justice, of course; the ones in this photo are easily 70 feet high!!!
The following series are taken from Altamont Pass Road... there's an exit of the same name. These are taken heading Westbound.
This picture can't do justice to these rows of 80 foot high windmills!
Here's a photostitch from Altamont Pass Road. It's small, but it gives you some idea of the scope of the wind farm.

 Either those cats cool it or we're not gonna play. I think you got your facts pretty straight, about Altamont and life in the great Bay area.
