Aiie yiiee yieee!

Magic, **sigh**

Such a beautiful report! Music and all. I listened to every tune through every town

Sights, sounds, and feelings only Jamaica can conjour up. Worth it enough for me to go through it without the scents.

Two weeks before my next reach. Cant come soon enough.

Please please please continue .......

The only &quot;old road&quot; i could find on the coast this past trip was the road from Port Antonio to Kingston via St. Thomas. And I felt like I was on an endangered species because you know that new highway is gonna snake around that way sooner than later...that's why I made us drive it even though it takes longer, has more potholes and all that...

<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'">The Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica through its wholly owned subsidiary, Wigton Windfarm Limited has constructed a windfarm at Wigton - a small rural district in Central Manchester.

Consisting of twenty-three (23) 900-kilowatt wind turbines, the Wigton Windfarm has an estimated capacity of 20.7 Megawatts of power and is expected to supply the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) with a minimum of 7MW on average.

Wigton Windfarm Limited (WWF) bas entered into a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with JPS. The property, on which the windfarm is sited, has been leased by the Company from the bauxite/alumina companies Alcoa and Alpart.

NEG Micon, a Dutch wind turbine manufacturer, has supplied the 49 metres hub height turbines, with each tower having its own low/medium voltage transformer situated inside the tower base.

The turbines have been strategically spread out over site at approximately 100 metres apart on the ridges within the area.

The siting has been verified with the aid of geological studies in order to ensure that the turbines are not sited on the part of the property which contains bauxite deposits. This is in order to allow the bauxite companies to mine the area in the future without hindrance from the windfarm or its activities.

Construction of the windfarm was completed in seven (7) months. During the construction period, the services of the U.K. based Renewable Systems Limited (RES) were employed as the project managers. RES, with offices in the U.K. and U.S.A., have been engaged in this type of activity on a worldwide basis for many years.

Based on the success of this first commercial venture in wind technology, the PCJ through its subsidiary, Wigton Windfarm Limited, in its drive to promote the use of renewable energy resources will endeavour to erect similar windfarms in other areas of the island.

Prime Minister P. J. Patterson officially opened Wigton Windfarm Limited on July 29, 2004.</span></span>

Well there's still plenty of such roads in the interior.
However, as you said, as far as the coast roads are concerned, they are becoming extinct.
