This series known as - Power Lines And Desert Scenery (P.L.A.D.S.) is exactly what you see a lot of now in the desert. Huge high-voltage power line towers running throughout the desert as far as the eye can see. For the desert scenery you will see an occasional camel, 4-wheelers and of course little white trucks. Sand has overtaken portion of the various roads adjacent to the towers so 4-wheel drive came in handy a few times. This series is mainly for the numbers however, there are a few tricky ones because that’s what I do. Mr. Garmin says he was within 7 feet. Enjoy.
Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation. The interconnected lines which facilitate this movement are known as a transmission network. This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. The combined transmission and distribution network is known as the "power grid" in North America, or just "the grid". In the United Kingdom, India, Malaysia, and New Zealand, the network is known as the "National Grid”
