You mean you're in the wrong house? How embarrassing!

Say does anyone have a street address for Area-51?

Well, if you put in "rachel, nv" and then move over a few screens due west, you'll see a big white dry lake bed. That's Groom Lake, and Area 51. You can make out the air strip and buildings, but it won't let you zoom any closer than the 4th closest anywhere in that region.

The photos of my parents house were taken on a weekend given the high school parking lot is a ghost town.There are no shadows. It was taken before construction on the old Huntington Center was started, so I'd say 03 is about right.

You can clearly see the airstation on Camp Pendelton.

Actually that would suck...our house is soooooo much nicer than our neighbor's accross the street. We have a big spacious add on and such (I'm not really judging the neighbor's house any other way...honest!)

I recall there being some satelite imagry service based out of Russia, that had great pics of the nevada Test site - lot's of bomb craters. I bet you can still get unblurred pics from them.

Here, try this website: sattelite view

The zoom is better and the picture of my house is from 3-2004. It tells an actual date of the picture. Although it also says I live accross the street from my house.
