An appropriately rustic sign welcomed us to Sundial village in Rico, Colorado,

That's me at the Ale & Bale Cantina. What you don't see is the brace on my

SunSense Solar had their demo station on site. Having both photovoltaic panels
and a wind driven generator, it represents a hybrid system less affected by
