Google Earth is equal parts fascinating and creepy at once. It’s a testament to technological advancement and our interconnectedness on this massive, massive spinning ball of matter as it flies through an infinite expanse. It’s nearly impossible for anything (ANYTHING) to be hidden on this planet, and Google Earth is the public’s reminder of that.

No Surf Lakes facility with a giant plunger. No Occy sitting on the beach. Likewise, the famed peaks of BSR Surf Resort show up as a big patch of dirt.”
Surf exploration really has changed, hasn’t it?
