Google Street View came to our town a few years ago. I saw the car with the big camera pod on top but figured they were off the ferry and headed to Anchorage or Fairbanks. Why would they bother with our out-of-the-way little town? A few days later when a friend and I were putting facia boards on our barn, here came the Google car up our dead end gravel road! It recorded the work in progress. Link to that is below, but first, here is the summer scene heading up the hill toward the property we are trying to buy.
You are looking across Henderson’s pasture with Comstock Rd to your left and Allen Rd to your right. The property is kitty-corner across he pasture, to the left of the house in the upper part of the frame. It extends back into the woods to the left, about 2.5 acres.

You can move the view up Allen till you are next to the blue and white house on the left near the top of the road, and turn around to see the view. From there to access the property you would continue up the road as it bends left, and once past the house on the left you can see the dense woods to your left which is the road-facing part of the property. Not much to see at this time.
For fun, here is the view of our first barn still under construction, where we live now on Fair Dr. It’s about a mile north from here to the new property.
That’s me starting up the ladder with the next board to go on the barn. There’s a link for a larger view if you want to zoom in or wander around.
