I pulled over for several minutes to take this photo. Elevation is about 4000 feet. I believe this is the largest wind farm in the state. No cars passed by in either direction. Next time a Californian complains the state is overpopulated, tell them to come here.

Vietnam Jeeps in 1964
I was recently contacted by Derek Redmond, webmaster at The CJ3B Page, which contains the best collection of Jeep models I’ve ever seen, complete with great photos of those Jeeps at work in their native environments – usually military.
Derek wanted to post some of my Jeep photos from Ban Me Thuot, Vietnam, and I gave my blessing. You can see his new page Jeeps in Vietnam, 1963-1964 here.
Don’t miss the rest of his great collection at The CJ3B Page, though!
