Looks like they are starting. When I was driving home this last Sunday it was 99 degrees outside and there was a security guard onsite guarding the property. He was in a puny little hut and came out to see what I was doing just as I was starting to drive away.

Where was that picture taken Daren?
That really sucks. I was under the impression it was still in the approval process?

Sorry, I thought I wrote the location, it is in the metadata. If you click on the image it will tell you but here is what I wrote:
This is located approx 5 wiles west of Ocotillo, afew hundred yards east of the Dos Cabezas road
Google map centered on area
There were no signs anywhere to indicate what it was, I was talking with the friendly Border Patrol and they told me what they were doing. They were out working there on Friday when I drove out but on Sunday only the guard was there.
Again, I am just going by what the BP told me, he seemed to know about it though and said it was gonna mess up the beauty of the landscape.

You can forward to Basin Watch, that is fine with me.

That is terrible.
I have been told that is a Bighorn Sheep corridor as well as Flat-Tailed Lizard habitat.
Curious what the ABDSP thinks about this going up on their southern border. :-(

Had someone contact me who saw the picture and claims it is the laydown area for the Sunrise Powerlink and not the wind project. This person claimed to live only a few miles away from the area. If you want more specific information please contact me via PM.
