Hey, that is a good site. Thanks for sharing. I'm not crazy about their maps. They sure do load slow. That Hybrid map never did load for me. That is strange how that road changes from M to N. I have a note that a well just barely south of there had tar or oil in it at one time. Kinda interesting. That well was reportedly in this area: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=37.28472&lon=-94.31028&datum=NAD27&s=24&size=l Mike On Sun, 22 Jan 2006, [email protected] wrote: >Mike, > > Have you run onto Lat-Long.com site.
