*grin* what's rather amusing is that we basically did almost exactly the same thing at work last week when we came across google maps :P

Dave and I tried to use Google maps to find the Black Rock Desert where we're going to go for Burning Man.

Unsuccesful. Not there. Empire and Gerlach (the two nearest towns) are also too small to score a mention.

Wow. Deepest darkest bits of america!

Chesh is hoping that when the entire world gets done we can look at the Nazca lines. I also want to check out the White Horse of Uffington too. *grin*

We might suddenly realise the entire world is crossed with lines for space craft to land on....
:-)

Just left past the horse a few thousand K's...

A bit of crossreferencing to get there.
