Was doing some internet recon the other day [-(, and discovered that Google Earth (http://www.google.com/earth/index.html) (the program for Windows/Mac/Unix PCs) seems to use different satellite image sets than Google Maps (http://maps.google.com) (the web site) does.

Fire up your copy of Google Earth (not maps**) and take a close look at both banks of the AR from the pens at the Nimbus fish hatchery downstream to the end of Sailor Bar.

Plug this in to zoom there quickly:

38°38'4.99"N 121°13'42.95"W

:eek: :D

Well, they're hatchery fish, after all... right? ;)


** YMMV using mobile phone versions of Google Maps - you might see what I'm talking about there, but it probably depends on whether you are using Android or IOS. Use GE to be sure to see it.
