Done and done. Am I the only one with a tractor here?

Richard, I know I can be found, I'm not trying to hide. Just can't get the d@mn pin sticking option to come up, gave up trying.

Mason-Dixon line, about 3 miles east of the Ohio river as the crow flys... 4.5 miles on the road!

I pinned you my friend.

You took up half the State!!!!!

It zooms and scales on my display. I'll check again. Nope it zooms and scales just like all the others do. You must be holding your mouth wrong or somthin. I wish I could make it red though.

I'm just giving you crap, it's fine.

Not to be a buzz killer, but post a lot of pictures of all your toys, including insides of some barns with inadvertent pics of other stuff, and where you exactly live on a national/international forum.... just sounds wrong. But maybe it is just me....

I'm the furthest South, in the Northern Hemisphere. You Aussie's don't count for this contest because you're upside down.

We're upside down? What's that theory thing about relativity?

I've never been paranoid and I'm not hiding from anyone.

I always get a chuckle out of people who blur out licence plates in pics they post on the net. The same plates that are in full public view as they drive down the public roads and park in all the wrong places in cities. Neurotic behavior? Maybe.

Apparently!

I pinned you my friend.

Ahh... Richard, you beat me to it... diesel, you are on the board.

I'm in, coastal NC and waving to Bostic from the East. And I see Wingsprd and David/MFW live right close to each other. I'm surprised he doesn't call you when he gets stuck in his driveway Billy....

We all want our privacy, but you know you are curious...
I spent good money on an alarm system and video monitoring; let the bad guys come and smile to the camera; I'd rather know where
the rest of you are.
but let's all have a gentlemen's agreement not to abuse the privacy issues of this map. No rotten apples...

Geez, I didn't know one could customize; better go back and make mine orange, or red, or green.

If any of us have privacy issues, we wouldn't have put our location in our profiles to begin with. It took me a couple of years before I narrowed my location down. Still my location is only the area I am in, not street name and number.

As for the rest of you, you can be guaranteed that I will not be 'dropping' by.

My Icon is my Kioti house... so who can top that?:laughing:

James, you are relatively close to one of our largest North American hose facilities in Mountain Home, AR. Beautiful country over that way!

Beautiful yes, good roads, no. The road to Mountain Home is "long and winding".. fun drive on a motorcycle though!. More curves than a Vegas showgirl.

Yep, I don't plan on going out of the way to find someone. This is more for enjoyment to me. But if one of you shows up real close by we might could share some stories over a cup of coffee in a local cafe.

<snert> Very similar roads throughout Tassie. Quite a few mountain passes were built by convict labour too, and most of the regular roads follow the contour of the topography. When I'm driving I refer to it as 'The Festival of Straight Roads' because it's rare to find a section.

Going North out of Kuwait City, Kuwaiti into Iraq there is only one hardball road. It's a modern 4 lane divided hiway. Once away from the city it's wide open desert where a road can be built straight as an arrow.

Not so. They actually built in long sweeping curves. The hiway snakes it's way all the way to the border. Intentionally.

Those people to this day confuse me.....

It doesn't confuse me one bit because we do it here now too. That way people don't fall asleep at the wheel. A lesson that we had to learn the hard way.
Wanna drive a straight road, take a trip on US 50 across Nevada some day.

It's the loneliest highway in America or so they say. I'd much rather drive it than take the Interstate though. When I get the chance and am in no particular hurry, I usually get off the Interstate and take alternate routes. Less traffic, more scenery, more history, better food and it usually doesn't add much if anything to the time but it sure does add to the enjoyment.

 

[ovrszd]

Knowing the Vanity of the kuwaitis I rather believe they did it for appearance.

There's another one (or it could be the same road) that warns you that there is a tree and, I think, a curve coming up MILES ahead of time 'cause it's the only feature in an otherwise barren landscape.
