I said I wouldn't upload screenshots, but this is more image than screenshot. You can see my commute here. Courtesy of Google Maps (and the USGS).
it'll be gone soon. they're going to pave paradise and put up some town houses or something. ok maybe not paradise, but ya know, some good times. a few. a few good times. whatever, I want my crappy school to stay where it is so other people will have to suffer the wrath of tiny hallways and busted lockers!
GoogleMaps doesn't have enough resolution for the main part of Hot Springs to get into much detail, but here's an overview of the town.
In response to a suggestion from Flickr contact Boyce Duprey, I checked out the location of today's soda bottle find using Google Earth.
I'm pretty sure this is the correct spot. I believe the area in which I found the old bottle dump is the reddish-colored smudge in the center of the photo about one-third in from the left edge. I suspect the bright white spot is the sun reflecting off the old galvanized wash tub that was there. It was the sun on the wash tub that caught my eye from ground level.
The smaller red smudge just below the green tree in the center of the image corresponds to a smaller dump site of rusty metal cans.
I was following the fence line that crosses the top of the image. I do not recall noticing anything out of the ordinary where the lighter colored patch is visible. I assume that is where cattle cluster near a corner where fence lines converge, but I shall inspect that area more closely when I have an opportunity.
I do not see any angular shapes nearby that suggest the remains of a foundation or anything of that nature, but I do see additional intriguing "white specks." If that light-colored speck is, indeed, the old wash tub, the resolution of these images is almost disconcerting... and suggest that maybe cleaning up my back yard might be a good idea!
