Treasure Hunt
Looking down on the stars
I've said so before, Google Earth is brilliant. You can download it here and have a whale of a time looking down on the planet. Most of the USA is now covered not only by sattelite photographs, but with 3d buildings now as well.
I used it recently to create the following Treasure Hunt for the Youth Drop In I work at on Wednesdays, for a while it'll keep them from ring tone downloads.
Why don't you have a go yourself. use the email facility to email me the pictures to times2(at)wightcablenorth(dot)net
