I live in California City and it's about to get even more deserted.

Edit: I don't think there is a go cart place here anymore. I wish there was because that would be something else to do.

You have a kick rear end Honda test track just north. That's... something...

The planes are different, but the bottom one appears to have a blue nose. Could that be a mid-air refueling in progress?

e:
It's a KC135 in front; notice the dark nose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_KC-135_Stratotanker
And a C-17 being refueled; notice the fuckoff hugeness http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_C-17_Globemaster_III

That's a neat thing to have captured on Maps.

I really think that's a C-5 Galaxy. Just my opinion, but I think the C-17 is bulkier, and shorter.

edit: btw, this completely makes sense, as Travis AFB is just south of there.

edit again: Also, Lava Beds National Monument is an absolutely fascinating place to visit.
