use the little figure for street view and drop it into the garden of the mission
a wonderful walkaround follows

Yes, many years ago. Just on main roads. South of San Felipe only 10 miles, last I looked.

All over the world. I took a trip through some small Japanese towns the other day. I really like their wooden houses. And, if you want, you can listen
to a radio station in or near the town you're exploring.

I was out in my driveway welding a utility trailer when they drove through my Anchorage neighborhood. That was a few years ago, but the street view
image now looks like it is about two years old, and I have disappeared!

Those little walking tours in google street view are pretty common in touristy areas of the world.
Woke!

When I check mine I see my Lab Chazz standing in my driveway.

Thanks lencho
That was fun! In the overhead view, I was able to resurrect the trailer in front of my garage by going back to 2010, but not in street view.

Baja Angel's (Elizabeth's) Jeep CJ-5 is parked in front of my Oceanside home in early street view images there. That would be from 2005-2007 before
she got a Toyota!

Google Street View was launch in 2007 -- I have been using it for many years. Ditto for the interesting locations, eg:
The Colorado River in the bottom of the Grand Canyon
La Paz Bay
Vail Ski Resort
Diagon Alley (for you Potter fans)
Emirates Airbus A380
Nasir Al Mulk Mosque
Mayan Ruins in Mexico
... and so on.
