Jake,
I travel to Houston from Austin frequently (especially during football season). While going toward Houston as I reach the apex of the Hwy 71 overpass connecting to IH10, which direction would I look to see your mill? That's assuming it will be visible from that spot.

Thanks and regards,
Jim

Ok, so it time to move the windmill out to my land but non of my trailers are available so i used my truck. Who says you cant put a 4500lb windmill head on back of a truck. For size comparison my truck bed is 10 foot long.
