[Mutant Fest] (not) Using Google Earth to find potential sites

[Tae Williams]

I'm pretty sure that I have mentioned this area before, though, at the risk 
of sounding like a broken record, I know there are going to be some people 
out there tomorrow, so I'm saying it again.
I havn't been up there yet, but I have been told by some friends that there 
is a really good place out in the greensprings area of Southern Oregon- 
Thats up Dead Indian Memorial road, which is where I suspect S.P.A.Z is 
going to be on Wednesday- Though the spot I am thinking of is probably a 
good distance further into the woods than most of the 1 nighter spots on 
Dead Indian -Out near Little Hyatt Lake/Trinity lakes, if anyone knows where 
that is.I'll try to get out there this weekend, if not next weekend and take 
pictures and make a map to post on photobucket.
Maybe if you Spaz kids like the area that you're in on Wednesday, they 
should find SHALE CREEK road (not Shale City or Burnt Creek - where, if you 
spoke to Alex Therien, you would be directed) - Shale creek & shale quary 
are out there.
Anyway, I'll check it out & bring my digital camera/video cam
