If you're looking for walls of a long abandoned log cabin, good luck. I don't know where you're looking, but in my part of the country, an unattended log structure wouldn't have stayed standing more than a couple of decades at best.

He may very well stand a chance of finding a building. The time zone on his profile puts him out west somewhere and buildings tend to last a little longer in that neck of the woods due to the dry climate. I know up here I found a cabin about 20 years ago that had been used since the early teens and it was already falling in on itself. The winter snows and forest fires have a devastating effect on unattended structures in Wisconsin. Also, I know what you're saying about pixelation in closeups, but if you look at the first fuzzy pic, the pixelation is perpendicular to the bottom of the picture. The lines and corners that define the "foundation" are diagonal to the picture. Of course, that doesn't rule out a natural formation or a fallen tree trunk but I'm not convinced it's the product of pixelation (sorry, I just love an argument where I can jump in on both sides!).

Exactly. I don't know why you're making it so hard on yourself with satelite images rather than GoogleEarth or the like...

If you look at the subscript on the first fuzzy picture, it says it comes from GoogleEarth...

Wow, are you sure you want to do a chopper ride? The cheapest price I could find on the net was $250 an hour, and if you do find something you still have to drive there anyway. It may be just as easy to pinpoint the location with GPS and do a ground search.

Exactly. I don't know why you're making it so hard on yourself with satelite images rather than GoogleEarth or the like--and I don't understand the helicopter ride... Maybe this is all just over my head...but I have been researching and successfully Finding sites for the past decade and a half--and I have a decent chance at recovering a cache at Any of the house sites I locate--and I find one new one a week! Do you know Who lived here, and know for a fact that they buried a cache, or do you just know that there were caches found in the area? Because the easiest way to find the old housesites is not the way you're going about things. If you don't know who lived there, or whether or not the occupants buried a specific cache, then why would you spent two years trying to find it, rather than GPS and ground searching? It just doesn't make sense. THers and MDists alike have to allow their research to flower and take shape, but then we all get to a point where we figure out easier ways to do things--to make that research time itself more productive. I don't get it, but I'd love to understand.

First photo is titled 'Google Earth'. (also I thought Google Earth is satelite images)

Goggle Earth change their images every 6 month(ish)

I still can't figure out the lines going each direction and perpendicular to each other. These lines may give the idea of a square when it wasn't originally. What is the land used for now? Is it being worked or is there any reason for the lines?

Dont worry about going there Lowtones, already hunted it. Besides, its not a cabin but some pine tree's that fell over during the last storm.

I'm just posting so I can follow the topic.

Seems like in two years you coulda been "boots on the ground" there at least once.

Are you willing to divulge the exact location in a PM to me?

I could care less about your possible caches... I wanna see the location in Google Earth...

Don't know about where you live but here Google doesn't update that often..note images downloaded this morning from both Google and Live Search of the same location. The Google image was last taken abotu Summer 2002 the Live Search image was taken last fall

I always forget about this web site should have fairly up to date Ariel/Sat. images http://www.zillow.com/.
This is by far one of the best sites I've found for you can zoom in fairly close what do you guys think.

I think I'm wrong on both counts as I seem to remember them being ariel (brain burp) & very patchy, so some areas are updated at different times.
