On a day off this week I went for a short ride. And just for something to do I went to find these two web cams. I knew in general where they must have be, but want to see exactly where they were. (Is about 3 miles from here, well, 3 miles and about 3 million dollars.)

This one somewhat interesting in that has an archive of different views (this one with big ship going thru piers) and also has a year long time laps showing the beach full of people in summer and ice in winter.
So I went down on the beach and tried to find something on the beach that I could see in the webcam and then move to line it up with something on the pier, then turn around and look up at all the houses up in the dunes to get a general idea, then go up in the dunes and try to find that place, then look for the camera. Found both of the cameras. Here is picture of my GK in position of about the same view as the first one.
Other subject:
My son and I have been harrassing each other about who is the biggest dork, him for doing so much on Geocasching website, or me for doing things on GSR forumn.
Now me doing this (for my 2000th post) will probably aid his argument. Maybe I will just have to admitt it.
