Google Earth imagery update

I don't know if anyone uses Google Earth but in case you do, a few months ago they updated the imagery available of our property with data from last summer (2012). Since I had tagged our house location, Google actually alerted me about the updated data. Now, instead of just empty fields and the trace of Sinclair Road, you can actually see our house! Granted, the horse fencing and the loafing shed are not there but at least you can see the house. I have included a frame grab from Google Earth for those who don't use the software so you can see our quarter section (outlined in yellow) and the location of our house relative to the rest of the property. You can see the house near the upper left corner of the yellow outline.


The "new" driveway we made is the distinctive line running from the gate (in the upper right hand corner) across the property and past the pond (small dark circle almost half way up the drive). Sinclair Road can barely be made out as the much fainter track that meanders along below our driveway. The excavation that carries the 2" water pipe from our well to the house is evident going through the trees directly below the house. The fields we keep the horses in cover about 3/4 of the large open area to the right and above the house. If you zoom in, the evidence of the excavation for the septic field is obvious to the right of the house.
If you have the Google Earth application and want to see the property in there, simply copy and paste these coordinates into the program...
