Chateau d If:
And if you move the point of view about 100 feet to the west you get to see I10 come into view.
Because we are on the edge of a cliff overlooking the White Water arroyo (the yellow dots are the edge).
I guess they did not want any tweets coming from people driving to Palm Springs :lol:

Here is a review of "Windmill Farm" from trip advisor...

Windmill Farm
AdelaidianTraveller delaide Australia
Feb 24, 2010 You associate Palm Springs with extraordinary sights of natural beauty.
Add this to the list of extraordinary sights! Located on I-20 just outside of Palm Springs is a massive windmill farm generating electricity. There are windmills of all sizes.
You can drive by (adjacent to the highway) or take a guided tour through the "forest" of windmills.
Apparently the wind farm comprises more than 4000 separate windmills, and they generate sufficient electricity to supply power to Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley.
You can see the windmills adjacent to the highway as you enter or leave Palm Spings. Also, if you take the Aerial Tram, you'll see a panoramic aerial view of the farm.
It's an extraordinary sight, and easily accessible.
You can do a 90 minute tour of the wind farm- four tours are conducted daily- they ask you to make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance

I think the cable tramway goes up the east side of Mt San Jacinto from Palm Springs. We are looking at the north side of the mountain.

Hmmm... thanks!
Chateau d If:
So, can we tell the time of day by using a rainbow? :lol3:
