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$.. ;-)
