PALM SPRINGS WINDMILL TOURS AN-<br />
NOUNCES DOWNTOWN PALM SPRINGS<br />
PICK UPS AND DROP OFFS<br />
15<br />
Palm Springs Windmill Tours has announced that it will offer downtown<br />
Palm Springs pick ups and drop offs beginning <strong>June</strong> 5th, for its windmill<br />
farm tour that takes visitors up close and personal with the Coachella<br />
Valley’s most recognizable landmarks. The summertime tours, beginning<br />
on <strong>June</strong> 5th, will be on Friday, Saturday and Sunday only at 9 and 11:30<br />
am, and take visitors “behind the fence” to a working windmill farm, then<br />
explore other sustainable energy production facilities nearby.<br />
Pick ups can be arranged at Palm Springs area hotels for groups and individuals<br />
and the shuttle will return guests to the same location following<br />
the tour. The tours are approximately one and one-half hours and cost<br />
$35 for adults and $17.50 for children.<br />
“Palm Springs Windmill Tours is the only windmill tour company that<br />
takes its guests up close to actual windmills on the farm,” said David<br />
Hixon, of Palm Springs Windmill Tours. “We show our guests the history<br />
of windmill operations here since the 1980’s, and also explore newer<br />
alternative energy production with a stops at a solar panel field and the<br />
valley’s new natural gas peaking facility.”<br />
Palm Springs Windmill Tours is also the only windmill farm tour endorsed<br />
by the Desert Wind Energy Association.<br />
In 1982, the first wind farm was developed in the Palm Springs flats of<br />
the San Gorgornio Pass. Today, more than 4,000 windmills are spread<br />
out over 70 square miles and produce enough electricity to power Palm<br />
Springs and the entire Coachella Valley. In the Palm Springs area, about<br />
2,000 windmills exist, ranging in height from 105 feet to the height of a<br />
45-story building.<br />
The tours begin at Palm Springs Windmill Tours in North Palm Springs,<br />
where photographs documenting the evolution of the industry in the<br />
area are on display, along with various windmills that have been in use<br />
over the last 35 years.<br />
