Thanks...I am running out of angles to shoot this place from though. (I liked those features too.)

Well, you do know there are 100's up there and I (we) have only been to less than 2 dozen. There is a lot of material there and it is nice that someone documents them before they are gone. For those you have been to, you can see form year to year how fast they are turning to dust.

I cannot get over the misnomer of "Waterville" in the middle of all that dry land.

But there is water in Waterville.
Then water table is not too deep, hence all the old windmills. This one had it's own cistern.

I am a product of my being...and you the "victim" of my useless knowledge.

Those are the Cascades. This is only about 2 or 3 miles from the western edge of the plateau, before it drops down into the Columbia River Valley.
That is, I think, the best preserved windmill that I have found up there. And I have shot it from dozens of angles. But I have never seen the blades turning no matter how windy.
