Google maps!

Post by Hawk_GT » Fri Dec 12, 2008 4:01 pm

Don't know if this has been posted before.....

Search for 606 N. MISSISSIPPI LITTLE ROCK, AR
and check out the street view. :D

Looks like one of Crane's rafts on the pile?

That looks like Mike Stanley heading out for a day on the water. The only problem is that it was 8 AM on a Wednesday, and Mike told his boss that he would be attending an out-of-town funeral that day.

Sounds like a fun thread - Google-Spot the Kayak/Raft/Canoe, preferably in action.

On the same note, using Google Earth
I was creating the flyover of the Grand Canyon video
when I noticed there were NO boats. Not anywhere.
For the entire length of the Colorado through the GC.
What is the chance of that?

Paddledog, you sure? Been a year or two, but pretty sure I saw rafts. I just don't remember where.

BTW, Niagara Gorge is a fun place to fly Google. Whirlpool looks "skeh-wee."

That's Mike Stanley's truck with his red raft, my purty pink raft on the trailer, and Liz's RPM on top... I can't see the other kayak well enuf to tell if it's my red Micro... And, who would have thought we were part of history? ...one second of fame...

The question is who is HawkGT and why is he scoping out Crane's house?

Gordon, the Hawk was looking at maybe moving from one side of Leawood to a single-level over near me... but, he got offended by your comment!

If you search on 22 sycamore drive conway, AR (not my address, but close) you can see my truck and DeBo's Tracker in the driveway; truck loaded with "swamp boats" (canoes) and ready to roll. The shadow in the picture gives insight into how these were made - somebody basically drove every street, with a car-top 360 degree view camera snapping away. Looks like anyone who lives in the city can enter their address, then if the car wasn't right in front of your house, "walk" the address up or down, until it was passing your driveway. Looks like it took photos every 100 feet or so. Man, that's a lot of data loaded up on the web!
