All around the Texas panhandle and into Oklahoms and New Mecxico are some of the largest US Wind Farms. We drove through mile after mile of wind production, which is now a significant source of pier in the area. Juxtaposed with this we’re many petroleum fields, though most sat idle as we drove by.
Today covered a variety of evaporites. Our first stop being Great Salt Plains State Park, to view a modern evaporite environment. It was still a bit too wet to venture very far out onto the flats, however, we found plenty to explore nearshore. Followed up with visits to outcrops of Permian evaporites further west in Oklahoma.
