Post anything cool you find in Google Earth. Rides, mountains, anything. I figured it was about time we had one of these. I'll start.

Tooth of Time in New Mexico - lat = 36.448057 lon = -105.008744

Eagles Nest in Bavaria, Germany - lat = 47.610996 lon = 13.041664

37° 7'49.09"N 116° 2'19.82"W

37deg 39' 54.28" 116 deg 01' 31.92" Really interesting ground pattern. Zoom in to about 12K feet.
37° 39'55.81"N 116° 1'31.92"W

37deg 29' 15.77" 116deg 13' 41.66" Lambs pond circle.

I have dozens from the NTS if anyone wants the KMZ files, let me know.

You guys realize you have to include the hemisphere when you are specifying coordinates in Lat and Lon.? N vs S, E vs W. Some of your locations are meaningless without them.

If you go to the google earth community forums you can find pages upon pages of cool links to check out. My favorites were the allied air field with all the scuttled aircraft, and the worlds largest beergarden, and the giant bug.

I spent hours on there last night......

You may have just deeply offended him. Tonawanda sucked so bad they tore it down. You need really good drugs to live there now. All my relatives that moved from Buffalo just found the closest place that sucked as bad. Tonawanda. Even the name sucks....

But I digress. Google earth rocks.

One of my favorite places. Rothrock.
