Google Streetview has Exploded!

I was taking a look at the world from my computer in Google Maps tonight - and I turned on Streetview. It has greatly expanded it's reach recently! At least in the Portland area. A few weeks ago, the coverage area was much larger - reaching out into the suburbs. But now - you can see all the way to the Oregon Coast, and up into the Cascades.

Check it out - you can see Lolo Pass Road! This is where we go on our annual Christmas Tree Hunt. Take a look at this! The topo view really gives you an idea of the terrain we drive into to get that tree. These Streetview shots must have been taken in summer...no snowdrifts to drive through on these views...


Or - you can see the starting point for our Tour de Cure ride! This is the end of the road for this route for Google.



Our Tour de Cure fundraising is really kicking in. We reached $3,675 for the team today after a couple of big donation came in. Thank you donors! We are really closing in on our $5,000 goal - with just 4 weeks left before the ride. We should have no problem getting there - the AMEC match is good for at least $1,000 more...
