I'm a huge fan of Google Earth, a free software package that can show you virtually anything on the planet via satellite pictures.

Sal's thread about summers past has had me thinking about the home where I spent all of my formative years.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

In this shot, our lake is marked and we can see all the other lakes we used as our childhood playground. The lakes visible in this frame are all within the canal system or walking/biking distance and we routinely portaged our canoe across roadways to go lake hopping and on other various adventures (some less than wholesome).

Sal, you can plunk in your address of choice and zoom or scroll any image. It took me a little longer to spot my old stomping grounds because sooooo much has grown and changed. Sadly, our fabled "Century Oak" is now a mere patch of nothingness. It was an enormous oak tree that was our private climbing jungle.

If I did that I'd have to post at least 20 maps!

OTOH, I used Google to look in my porch windows and I have to clean the porch!

Do they have Google boats??? I couldn't get a look at the front of my house but there was the lake side and all of the enclosed porch's messy glory!!! Jeeez!!!
