I was messing around on Google Earth, killing time, and my eyes fell upon it again. I probably should have gotten it done back when my arteries were a little less clogged, but I still can't let it go...

Nothing came up on a search. Just curious if anyone else has had a go at it?

Our best efforts (to date!):

Searched ENTIRE forum for tha term "grammatical".

Ain't try'na brag, but u guys need to up your respective "grammatical issues" games, cuz I'm solidly in 1st place, n'it ain't even close!

Apparently, NO 1, in the ENTIRE HISTORY of this forum, has even committed any "grammatical issues", deemed worthy of correction... 🤣

Good job! And thank you for using less commas and more spaces in that post, which was pretty easy to read.

Well? We all filter what's "worth it" through the prism of OUR criteria, but waterfalls, cataracts, and wet spots are MY criteria, and the "Electric Eye" sees ALL... (Well? You might have to scroll through historical imagery to find a shot that depicts your target area in favorable light, with minimal distortion...)

We're living in the "Information Age", my friend! Mad props to the early explorers who set off up some Godforsaken backwater just on a hunch, but these days, if I devote my energy to a target, at minimum I have a STRONG "hunch" that something's back there, based upon clues from available imagery, and more than likely I can clearly SEE my target(s) and have a high degree of certainty as to what I'm going to find, IF I can get there... 🛰️
