For the record, i am absolutely a Google Earth addict! I have found some interesting things in weird and remote places....airfields with no road in or out, Somali pirate bases (they are obvious), lots of people flipping off the truck, places i lived as a kid, etc, etc.
It was solely responsible for us finding the town we are moving to in a few months! I was just Google surfing and ran across it, then street viewed it and knew i had to go there in person and check it out. That sealed the deal! :)
