Day 169 – June 18, 2010 :: Strange Cargo

On the road again, on our way down to my parents’ place in west-central Illinois.  This was the third in a series of these trucks that we passed.  We’d noticed a few fields full of these giant wind turbines farther north, but it was a strange sight to see the huge blades being hauled down the highway.  After having driven through a wicked storm earlier, with horrible cross-winds that had turned a double-trailer semi over on its side, I can’t imagine what it must be like to try to handle these suckers in conditions like that.
