Pillar Mountain Drive

Strep throat has strapped me with sickness, ever since the night of my last hike. Sequestered to home ever since, except for brief forays into the office when my co-workers were absent and thus protected from infection, I was rapidly tiring of my seclusion.

Today, the first day of the new year, the sun came out in all its blazing glory. Still feeling puny, a hike was out of the question. So I drove up Pillar Mountain to see my adopted city all sun-kissed, whipped by the thirty-plus MPH winds steadily turning the six giant windmill turbines arrayed along the ridge.

Enough fluff - enjoy the pictures. Stay tuned for more legitimate updates.
