Four Corners National Parks


 This is the four corners area of the country. Four states Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona meet at this one spot. The area is littlered with nataural wonders like the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, and Mesa Verde. This is actuallly a place that I look forward to visiting this place one day.

Lake Lanier, Georgia

This is a satellite picture of Lake Lanier in Georgia. This is a man-made lake built by blocking the Chattahoochee River with a large dam over 300 feet tall. The reservoir provides fresh, clean drinking water for residence of Atlanta-Metro area. Also the water can be used for agricultural use and industry purposes.
However, evaporation sucks almost as much water out of the reservoir as the city of Atlanta uses.

FSU campus maps

This is an overall picture map of the Florida State University campus and the surrounding Tallahassee areas. Florida State doesn't take up a large area of the city in fact FSU is one of the smallest University in size reliative to other Universities in the state. Interesting to see, I could not find any cardinal or scale to measure distance on the webpage where the map was. I have used google maps so many times before but never noticed that very important tool missing.
