Don't look at me like that. The first wind turbine was awesome, so when I turned around the way and saw and entire ridge full of wind turbines, I just had to take a look. This was initially difficult, as the wind farm was on the opposite side of a very large lake, but obstacles are simply there to overcome. Turns out, not only did I find the wind farm, but they WANTED me to find it. Di spite there being no signage, there was a brand new staffed visitor center full of all sorts of green energy propaganda. Unfortunately this also means that they limited how close you could actually get to the turbines.
The visitors center itself was quite peculiar. Full of exhibits that ranged from the very simplistic (Touch screen game where you had to drag the parts of the a wind turbine into place), to unnecessarily complex (a display of the generation of all turbines, including reactive power). There was also a full conference room, rest rooms, the works. All in the middle of nowhere with no signage.
