As we drove down to Murray Lake. There is a windmill line that's quite impressive!
At Murray Lake we went over to Tucker Tower. This is such a cool place. There is a little museum at the base. You then walk up to the tower and all inside is the history of the place as you walk up inside the tower. You can even go all the way up and outside. The view is just crazy as you look over the lake!
