Southwestern Technology

Cool technologies on display during the trip....

A solar-powered anemometer (and railway signal?) In the background is FPL Energy's solar-powered power plant, just NE of Kramer Junction, CA (where Highways 395 and 58 intersect, between Barstow and Bakersfield).
Albuquerque police used both horses and Segways to patrol fairly-subdued New Year's Eve partiers in the downtown area (you'd be subdued too, with both old and new technologies in play).
Wind power generation in the Tehachapi Mountains, above Highway 58, between Bakersfield and Mojave, CA.
This is the funkiest-wunkiest helicopter I've ever seen (just NE of Tulare, CA). I mean, it looks like it's powered by a lawnmower engine!
