[MD] Sandy Hook

[ADRIE KINTZIGER]

Thx for this , Ian,if i'll add this all up, i can clown around with this for
months.
Do not have to find or locate the grotto, i like to see the scenery as
Pirsig was trying to depict it, the Currier and Ives setting so to speak,
the pseudo-victorian
look and feel of his projected toughts, want the complete area, my next
google earth project for myself, after the summer will be an investigation
of the scilly's
Maybe i will plan a physikal visit on the Scilly's, not so very far from
here,to visit.
Like to walk the captains path.

So if you have info about the Scilly's,....don't hesitate to roll in.
