Yes, I haven't looked at Terraserver recently, but as I recall they 
looked quite a bit like the photos Lost Outdoors used. There are a 
couple places out in Busch Wildlife that don't match very well too.

But a buddy and I (Steve, caching as 'Swhat and Da Boss') are planning a 
caching trip to Stephen Forbes park for Friday - Da Boss & Norma are on 
their own. I wanted to put all seven caches on one page. I eventually 
did, but it wasn't pretty. With L.O., I could have entered all the 
Waypoints and printed the end result. Both as topo or photo. Quick and 
easy.. even with dial up - really.

Bah, M$..  ;-)
