Anemomter "Raising" -- Updated!

Brian Kerns of Alternative Energy Technologies is planning to install one anemometer tower on Waterworks Hill this Thursday, 10/2/08, with assistance from Sonny Kless and some other motivated EVST students. He welcomes interested students in the Energy Tech program to come along and join in. Activities will commence at 10:00 a.m. at the northern terminus of the Waterworks ridge trail, where you would run into a fence line if you kept going straight north. It’s a bit over a mile hike from the usual trailhead off Greenough Drive. Alternatively, folks could car pool over to the Randolf Homestead out near the landfill but parking is constrained there and issues with surrounding landowners make this the less preferable option. Brian will access the site with a vehicle from the Randolf property but one vehicle will be permitted up this road. The hike from either point is about the same. It will likely take 4 to 5 hours to get this installed. It will be a good hands-on learning experience about the practical and sometimes sweaty work that goes into renewable energy projects. Contact Brian Kerns either via email or at the office phone 532-3228 so he knows how many may be attending. If you come, bring work gloves, sturdy shoes, and work clothing. Bring water and maybe a snack. Event may be postponed due to weather.
