Where are they going?
We've been spotting a lot of trucks like this one traveling through town lately. They pass through in groups of three hauling thse huge things. John thinks they are blades for wind power generators, and they do look like that's what they are. They are really big, so huge that part of them hangs off the back end of the truck! Wow! We met this group of three on our way home from a trip to Show Low to see Dr. Flake. I wonder where they are headed?

Probably going to the wind farm that's being built over by Snowflake somewhere. The cylinders for the towers came in to Tucson by train last month and the transfered them to trucks. I didn't see any of it, but I found this in the paper: http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/282135
