here's the satellite view in iPhoto, zoomed in a little.
Two corrections, for precision in these posts. It turns out I got a good geo-fix and tagged two pictures of the snake itself, after i carried it to my car, parked between the road and the RR tracks--just about where the pin is.
I hunted around for a while and then before leaving took the pic of the capture site itself--the RR track photo. I'd lost the geotag and didn't want to wait to get another one. So I later simply transferred the geotagging info from the snake pics to the collection site pics. So the location in the capture site photo is not as precise as i thought. But at least now i know why. And it's still very good, imho.
It was interesting to me, too, to look at the satellite view and see habitat features i wasn't aware of when i was hunting.
BTW, the satellite views are from Google, and may be several years old or more, I'm not sure how current Google keeps them.
