Today we spent most of the time traveling to Canaan Valley. On the way we stopped at the Parsons Wind Farm. While there we were asked what the spped of a moving wind turbine was at the tip. Steve Freeman and I measured found that the tip made 14.3 revolutions in one minute. The amounted to a speed of about 117 miles per hour. Picture posted below of the wind farm.
Later we visited Thomas and learned some interesting history of the town. One thing I found interesting was that the northern coal fields had little to no violence.
