Was fun to get close and listen to the blades turn. Parking lot was big enough for our RV.

Wind turbines, corn fields, and amazing sunsets. The Midwest in a nutshell.

There is a lookout to see 240 wind turbines. They sound like a jet coming in for a landing. There are information plaques around that explain the turbines in detail. The walkway to the platform demonstrates how large the turbines really are, and there is a telescopic viewer to see the turbines up close.
