I was doing some data search for socalrat's U2.....

Google the map of San Felipe > right click>click on "What's here">double click on the green arrow>click on "street View

I just got finished "driving" up and down SF Mex 5 to SF downtown. *****Freaking amazing******!

I see the stores I get grocery at ...to the fish market.

I saw the "Google Car" driving around in Baja a couple years ago. It was a Prius with a big camera on top.

I was a little shocked to see it there.


:wow:

You can back right into a campground spot in SF with
that camera. I know 'back in the day' bores
some people, but some of the Baja Adventure
has been removed by the info that is available
today. When you didn't know before hand
what was around the next turn

Thank you DK, and BajaLou.

The images were taken in 2005, so there is a lot more development than shown, as well as a 4 lane highway now.
