The safari pics are amazing...that is something I would totally love.<BR/><BR/>I'm also glad you guys didn't stay at your reserved place. Your time there was too short to spend it being disappointed and I'm thrilled you were able to find something nicer!<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to Part 2!~aj~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01960895390340332054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16875673.post-17585926021572298362009-02-04T21:03:00.000-06:002009-02-04T21:03:00.000-06:00Good point, Bob -- I remember uninstalling the ful...Good point, Bob -- I remember uninstalling the full version of Google Earth but I don't remember why!<BR/><BR/>In this case I'm not sure it would've made a difference, as the lady on the phone at the resort described "Cabin #1" as seeming an awfully lot like what ended up being "Unidentified building" in the picture. Right on the lake and all.<BR/><BR/>But for next time, you bet, we'll check the online maps!Redleftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834798382800790723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16875673.post-74903589039057038932009-02-04T18:18:00.000-06:002009-02-04T18:18:00.000-06:00Great story, but Michael, Michael, Michael...I've ...Great story, but Michael, Michael, Michael...I've just got two words for you: GOOGLE EARTH! There's this newfangled invention- it's called the interwebz or something like that. And there are these...whatchacallums..."sites" where you can...find stuff. In fact, if you go on www.maps.google.com you can type in Henshaw Lake and go right to the place. Google even lets you drag a little icon of a man to that highway (Pala Rd. evidently) and gives you a street-level view! Drag the view around and you can even get basically the same view as in the photograph you took. Cool!<BR/><BR/>Now, I have to admit, Henshaw Lake *is* way out in the boonies, even if it was not *quite* what you were expecting. Looked a little too touristy for me - they put that big parking lot there for RV's, evidently.<BR/><BR/>Glad you found someplace better though. And aint that the beauty of traveling? Be spontaneous! Looking forward to reading all about the trip and seeing the pics (I mean the ones you can publish, natch).<BR/><BR/>But I don't go anywhere anymore without hitting up maps.google or Microsoft's www.maps.live.com sites and getting the lay of the land ahead of time.<BR/><BR/>Ah, technology!Bob Barbanes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12344068760904928223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16875673.post-52228809691171897622009-02-04T08:43:00.000-06:002009-02-04T08:43:00.000-06:00Still looking to take that honeymoon trip after 42...Still looking to take that honeymoon trip after 42...<BR/>Looks like you had a good one...so far.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04148676728860411325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16875673.post-84231487131858797112009-02-04T05:04:00.000-06:002009-02-04T05:04:00.000-06:00I had a chuckle when I saw the picture of your qui...I had a chuckle when I saw the picture of your quiet, nature-filled, private retreat at the cabin nestled in the hill on the lake. Glad you went on to have a wonderful trip.
