This gigantic wind farm can be seen for miles along the US 84 as you head in to Post TX. The turbines are on the escarpment that divides the Llano Estacado (Staked Plains) from the Caprock area of Texas. The winds are especially strong here because of the change in elevation from the lower Caprock to the higher Llano Estacado.

If you come for the waymark, be sure and get the earthcache that is here too: (visit link)
