BRCon Google Maps

Maybe this is old news to everyone but me, but I just discovered Black Rock City is a location on google maps. That sure makes things easy!

There are a number of nice overlays in Google Earth as well. I have found my camp in a number years, the resolution is so good. (although I wish it were better...)

I've looked at Google Earth images for 2010, love it! But, no more resolution please! Any more resolution and we're looking at a Skynet security cam from hell!

It's not that they don't have the capability; just reserved for the military and CIA use.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I love that image so much. I know exactly which speck I am on that map because I made sure to be out on the middle of the street when the photo was to be taken. :D
