North Coast 500 NC500 Day 14 Garve to Inverness

The North Coast 500, or NC500, is a 500 mile route around the coastal road of the Highlands of Scotland. We did the NC500 over 14 days and this is our video diary of that journey.

We stayed in Garve for 2 nights and today we travel from Garve to Inverness. We decided to take the longer route and skirt around the end of Loch Ness at Fort Augustus end and come back on along the road on the other side of the loch which is quieter with less traffic.

My Highland Heritage - To Newtonmore & Kingussie

Come along as I journey through the Scottish Highlands into my heritage. The photos at the beginning are taken from my seat on the train. All the photos thereafter (with exception to the 1861 enlistment record of my Great Great Grandfather and excerpts from The Scotsman) are of my journey through Newtonmore, Kingussie and the surrounding area.
To Robert, Ray and Mary, I deeply appreciate all you did and the time you spent with me.

341-San Gorgonio Wind Park — the oldest wind farm in the United States

On our return trip from Mesa we pass through the Palm Springs area wind turbines, about 2,700 of them in San Gorgonio Wind Park — the oldest wind farm in the United States.

A wind turbine is a device that converts wind energy into mechanical energy, which is then used to produce electricity. As heat rises from the desert floor, it creates a low-pressure area filled by the cool air blowing in from the Pacific Ocean, 90 miles west. As the wind rushes toward the desert, it is forced between the mountains (Mount San Gorgonio at 11,503 feet and Mount San Jacinto at 10,833 feet), creating a Venturi effect — similar to placing your finger on a garden hose. Wind speeds in the pass have reached 80 mph — only 5 mph faster than a Category 1 hurricane. The area harvests enough wind energy to power about 300,000 homes. That’s three times the amount of power needed to run Palm Springs.
