  • Estero Bluffs & Cayucos California

    From Savageduck@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 14 21:17:46 2022
    I got out with the DJI Air 2S at the coast today. This time a flight along the Estero Bluffs to Cayucos with a glimpse of the Cayucos pier.

    I don't suppose you know what that windmill things is for or does at about 8mins in.
    The only I can think of is a weather station.

    The only thing I can think it is, is an agricultural relic that has yet to be done in by weather.

    I've seen similar windmills which are water pumps.

    Thank you. I enjoyed that.

    It was good to see so many people walking too!

    I coudl understand that more inland on farms where water is pumped from wells , but they are close to the sea.
    so doubt they'd be pumping sea water even then where and why are they pumping it.

    Just a thought.

    From the 'lie of the land' it's possible that there has been much
    coastal erosion over many years. That windmill/pump might well have been
    a mile or three inland from the coast back in, say, 1850.

    Maybe from the creek just behind it ? It appears to have enough
    elevation to be beyond tidal effects of sea-water.
