In 1854, a machinist in Connecticut (USA) named Daniel Halladay was asked by a traveling salesman to invent a windmill for pumping water and other uses. At first, he was skeptical that such a device could be sold, but he began manufacturing his new invention in Connecticut. Soon, he moved his factory to Illinois to be closer to the rapidly growing western market. His windmill first demonstrated that a windmill could automatically turn to face changing wind directions without human attention and could control the speed of the wind wheel so that it did not destroy itself in the frequent storms by running too fast.
Halladay’s company, the U.S. Wind Engine & Pump Co., went on to become the largest manufacturer of windmills in America for a time.

Caching with ColoradoGeodemon this morning. Great views of the mountains and a couple of red tailed hawks soaring thru the air. What a great area to look for caches. Not much muggle traffic either. Found all we looked for except 2. Most were in great shape but some had wet logs or cracked containers.

Found, signed and returned where found. Thanks for the fun and the cache.
