Wind Turbine Blades On the Move From KK Integrated Logistics On Aug. 31

Wednesday afternoon I took a ride down past KK Integrated Logistics and noticed a truck loaded with a bundle of (2) wind turbine blades moving through the yard. I went up to a vantage point on the top of a hill along the route and photographed three trucks heading that way. For the second truck, I was able to photograph them after they had made the left turn at the intersection of 10th Street and 10th Avenue. For the third truck, I moved along 10th Avenue until I was just about across from the Holiday gas station store and photographed the escorts and truck as they made that turn. As you will see in the slideshow, considerable skill is involved in all of these movements. Great job!!
