Re: [Amc-list] google earth, the end of privacy, and finding junk cars

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a winter shot of one of the local yards (paste the numbers into the
search bar in maps)

53.588302  -113.27651

and our local Pick.n.Pull. They changed the layout a year or 2 ago so the photo
is at least that old.

53.569447  -113.645926


and only 1 AMC car in the whole bunch. :(
