Got this from FAA Safety, www.faasafety.org, last Monday. Those of you traveling cross country might want to have a look.

Thanks Rick.  Even established towers can be hard to see on a hazy day.  On a tractor airplane you couldbe on a collision course with your belly without ever seeing the top.   Kolbs are a little better in this case.

Areas to pay special attention are over ridges and along interstates where they like to space cell towers.

Also a good look around is suggested when making turns greater than 90 degrees.

We apparently had one stuck into a little swale along the  ridge line on the crest of the 

Steen's along the Hwy going North. It was  there for a while, then it was gone. At my current stage of "elderly" I had just  about convinced myself that I was mistaken.  Thanks for the explanation. They  are planning a wind farm in that area. They haven't figured out how to keep the  wind from twisting the prop shaft in to yet. It gets a bit windy at times  here.
