Title: job site on google earth
Post by: 1270d on August 21, 2014, 08:43:13 PM
found one of our jobs on google earth.  near as I can guess the photos were taken in early May of this year.   In the first pic one harvester and job trailer visible.  second is the same sight, just from a bit higher.  another harvester and buncher in the third pic

What a neat perspective on the job site. On the other hand it makes me think whoa - Big brother is watching.

Looks like you got some wood out.

it was early june before the wood was hauled.  Just one or two shady spots on a road can sure slow things down.

a few years ago bobus2003 (i think) posted his job as viewed on google earth.  Ive been checking mine ever since.  this should be an easy job for the forester to do final inspections on anyway, google has him covered.

That's cool. I sorta wish that Google was live, but mostly don't. :D

That's just the civilian resolution. Big Brother can count the rings on the logs. :D
