Where on (Google) Earth #28

This could be hard, or Ron and his army of undergrad assistants (Yami let out that secret here) could have it figured out before I return from my coffee run. Anyways, here it is, Where on (Google) Earth #28!

Oh, the softballs you guys lob up there for me to knock out of the park...

This one is the Wisconsin River in the Driftless Area of southwest Wisconsin. Seeing as I spent the better part of a decade doing my graduate work at UW-Madison, it took me longer to write this comment than to find the spot in Google Earth.

More on my minions in a second...

that was up for less than 40 minutes...ridiculous...Ron must see images of panning and zooming around GoogleEarth while he sleeps...he is the master

Interestingly, I tried to get my geomorphology students this past spring semester to participate in Brian's Where on (Google) Earth challenges. I don't know if any of them even tried it - maybe my success intimidated them or maybe they just weren't as excited about identifying landforms in Google Earth as I was.

Now, lest you all get the impression from the comments here and on WoGE #20 that I have an "army of undergrad assistants" solving these for me, let me assure you that I have an army of exactly one undergrad assisting me this summer, and she's doing a great job working with me on spectrophotometry and geologic mapping in Rooks County, Kansas - not solving WoGE puzzles.

By the way, I've been trying to put my geologic explanations in the placemark description box on the KMZ link. I figure it's potentially more valuable attached to the placemark where someone might find it in a KMZ search via Google Earth.

Now, any requests for WoGE #29?

And here I was thinking the driftless area might throw someone for a loop....

Here we go again! WoGE #29 is posted!
