Thought it would be fun to see where everyone is via Satellite.

http://maps.google.com/ is good for the US, if you know of other sites for our non-US members please let us know.

The picture they have for me is pretty crappy, larger cities you can zoom in three more times and pinpoint the building.  And this map is probably 4-5 years old judging by the roads and the farms are now homes / shopping centers.

Outstanding idea KS....bout damn time Big Smile [:D]

Tip for using Google Maps, don't just enter your city in the search bar and try to drag around the map with your mouse (unless it is a tiny town), it will end up driving you insane trying to find landmarks near you. Much easier to just enter your zip code. In most cities this will get the map pretty close to where you actually live. Use the zoom to find your neighborhood and zoom back out until it's where you want it. And everyone double-check their posts on imagevenue. Some haven't been taking lately (like KS's and a bunch on BC's paparazzi thread)....so make sure that you copy and paste your link into your browser to test it before posting.

Thanks F~

My picture is now fixed...

Btw: for everyone that doesn't know, in your picture that's not a road running along the coast, it's actually a fault line about to slip!  Hope your to the East of it

I wish I could get one in color, but it looks like this was taken during the winter anyway... no leaves.

Red Circle = My house
Blue Circle = Much more importantly, my old tree house.

OK. I'm thinking maybe, at last I got Something now.
 If indeed you do see an image now, look down toward the bottom left corner. There is a group of 3 buildings in the shape of an "U", 2 vertical & 1 horizonal surrounded by driveways. The vertical buliding on the right side of the "U" consised of 2 units. I'm right there in the lower of the 2, in the upstair master bedroom at my desk, looking out at a view of the "Neon Blvd" off the map to your far right. If you're coming by, I need ice and I'm all out of toilet paper.

Here I am. Couldn't zoom in enough to show you the dog running around in the back yard or the never ending kegmeister on the back deck. [B]

lol signal that's great!

Your secret is safe with us .  Just remember when you're giving directions don't use it as a landmark, people might be suspicious.

btw:  I think you should start up a thread RE: What Bunny Ranch girl would you do?
