Your comments made me look again at that picture and perhaps I am only
seeing what I want to see but it appears there are wires from near the
middle of the Rohn section cutting across the near left corner of the
pad leading to the building between the barrels and tower.   That
building also looks much newer than any of the other buildings.  I put
up a small shed similar to that several years ago and here in New
England it took only three years for the bare wood to turn completely
gray.  The wood on the door side of the building still looks uneven
like it is still weathering. The hinges on the door and the roof
appear to be in excellent shape as well as in not very old.  It is
only speculation on my part but I would say that both the building
and the turbine appeared on the scene at the same time within the
past 5 years and that the power generated is for something inside the
building...

Although I can't see the wires on my monitor, I tend to agree
with your interpretation. The gray building looks much newer, esp
the roof, than the others in the area. It also appears very
level, unlike the outhouse up the hill.

Perhaps that bldg houses the bobcat loader seen in the
other photos. The wind turbine could be a trickle charger
to float a charge on the Bobcat's batteries.

The whole thing brings to the table the question of
"Who still owns the groom property and what do they do up there?"
My impression was that once the original Groom Patriarch died,
the property became un-enterable and off limits. Yet these
photos tend to suggest not only entry but current use of
some sort.

Miso, got any dope on the county/state records for that place?
Norio? Peter? Glen? Any of you guys out there with any clarification?
