You got that new Satellite connection and you don't know of any other way to consume the bandwidth. :D  Should be able to look at the house, barn and shed in between here. I tore down an old shed to the south last fall. I'm a little patch of land, shaped like a bent out of shape hour glass, with tater fields all around. The line running north south to the left is the international line, might even be able to see the treaty monument at the end of the field. ;D

I bet that eye in the sky was the government spying on me. I sure hope I didn't make them mad waving at them.

Hey Marcel, when you get a chance, see if you can see my place.  I just went and put the pin in as close as I could.  Might not have got it hardly far enough away from the road.  I planted most of the horse chesnuts along that little creek that runs just east of the house. 
If I got it right there is my house, then the barn, then the saw shead.  If you can see an actual picture you should be able to see the mill shed.  Its about 30 x 105 with a metal roof.  Tim

Hmmmm.....well, Marcel, reckon I can confess.  I think yours was one of the first places I looked at when I started looking some time ago. 

Just curious, you know.   :)

Of course, I have looked in on several members over time.   ;D

Google isn't right on about  the names of the roads around my place.  I have placed my pointer as close as I can to where the house is.  Though it is still well covered as far as google will view the spot.

I see where Japan is threatening to sue Google over privacy issues. They don't want the public to see a public servant minister leaving a strip club. You laugh, but that was in the story. :D

There are quite a few members in New Zealand but when I zoom in, the only ones that are available are the Petersen staffers, what am I doing wrong??

   OK here is the ARKANSAWYER SAWMILL site.  The photo must be a few years of as it does not show the sawmill but how the land was when I bought it.  It is just below the highway and mostly looks like woods.

      Well it did not work  ???  The address is 2797 HY 62/412 East, Flippin, AR.

You have to put yourself on the map using your profile before the members map/google function pics you up.  :)

I had a memory lapse there for a bit. As I recall, the photo over my place was obscured by clouds, unless they have new clear updates since then.

Dang them clouds, puts a crimp on those spies.  :D :D

   OK I got a pin on the map.  Now maybe it will show up



   MapQuest has a more recent photo but has the address about a mile east from where I am.  No wonder no one can find me.
