Workday at Beech Mtn

Working at Beech Mountain is always a surprising experience. Take the weather for example; even in Banner Elk, the last town we pass through as Brent, Brooke, and I make the drive from Appalachian State U., the weather is completely different than it will be fifteen minutes later when we arrive at the Small wind initiative research and demonstration site.
Cold wind blows as we follow Brooke's dogs out of Brent's Westfalia. The day is sunny and bright with a breeze strong enough to turn all the functioning turbines. We work on the two turbines currently giving us trouble and then head back to Boone where again the weather is different. I love the North Carolina high country.
