Title: Google Earth
Post by artonio7 on Mar 13^th, 2007, 5:15pm

This is sweet. Recently a few of us from the board have been touring the earth via Google Earth and Skype.... It's a hoot. Here is a link of what the experience is like... sadly we haven't found these spots yet... but it would be a cool challenge.
enjoy.... http://tinyurl.com/3dwm5d

with warm regards,

North of Sacramento there's a town called Marysville. Just to the east there is an Air Force base called Beale AFB. There you will find a U2 taking off.
Also, have ya found area 51 just north of Vegas??
How about the nuke test range to the south west of that base?

This is cool. Don't know if any of these spots exist on earth, but I did find where I live on Google maps ;;D.

LOL, Between Tony, Batch, Svenn, and myself, we have had QUITE the tour of the world!

BUT, be warned! This site is addicting!

ANOTHER warning: DON'T go to Manhattan with Tony. He walked me UP and DOWN and BACK and FORTH for hours!!! The village, then up to Harlem, then midtown, west side, then across to east side, then over the bridge to Staten Island, then back up to midtown, then a waltz around central park, then down to Battery Park, then a hop over to Liberty Island, and then Ellis Island, and then what the hell, a stroll over the old bridge to Brooklyn .. .. geeze I was exhausted by the time we left the city!!!

BUT, it was fun!!

We have toured Hawaii, Peru, Norway, Dubai, and alll over the east coast, Maine to Florida, then a swing over to the south western states, Then a quick hop up to Montreal, (unbelievable how many homes have swimming pools up there)

Oh, and how could I forget the Midway Islands?

We have virtually shown each other, each house any of us have any history in!

Go ahead, down load it, and become a world traveler!

Chuck

Please take a look at my old home in Honalulu, there you will find the USS Missouri across from the USS Arizona (which has never been de-commissioned)

Hmm. Area 51 should be a clear image. It's on a white lake bed with the longest runway I've ever seen.
