Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 12, 2006 This is really cool. Satellite photos of the world. You can zoom in and see individual trees and waterholes, the tennis court at Elkhorn ranch, trucks on the highway. You can tilt the view to give a 3D view. Rotate it to look from any side. Some sections the photos are not that sharp, but others are well defined. What a great addition to topo maps for scouting and you don't have to rent an airplane. It's a free download. (I zoomed in, but didn't see any deer in 23. Don't know why you guys put in for it.) http://earth.google.com/ RR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stanley Report post Posted July 12, 2006 Yep, Google Earth rocks Doug! A friend of mine turned me on to it a year or so ago, and it's great fun to lower the tilt and 'fly by' some favorite spots. Google maps are also nice, as you can lay the roads over the terrain view.... Thanks for sharing! S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KGAINES Report post Posted July 13, 2006 DesertBull I worked on some equipment a few years ago at Los Angeles Country Club and the place was pointed out to me, the address is 10236 Charing Cross Rd. Los Angeles, 90024. The funny thing was my boss put the directions to it on my work order and told me to make sure and drive by or check it out from the course. Wasn't much going on that early in the morning though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
