Thanks so much Carol for bringing this to our attention! May I add that if ,like me, you goggle and nothing comes up on the search,at the right there will be a 'reverselookups.addresses.com' option,although I didnt show up on goggle, I showed up there,I am going to include a link for those people that also includes links for other sites you will want to go too,to remove your name from those data bases also.If even in the tiny print you dont see an option to remove your name ,look for a 'help' option or FAQ ,there will be an option there.Thanks again Carol for posting this and putting it out there!:)~Angie Here is a link that might be useful: Remove your name now!

>>Do you want to see the most perfect sequoia? Go here, then click on street view. you'll find it. 47°49'4.08"N 122°21'18.03"WIndeed! The trees I've seen in person look alot bigger because the google fisheye lense. That must be one hell of tree! Question: how can I get the GPS locations? This thing is amazing.. I'm currently traveling through the Seattle Arboretum! Check these out: 1758 Arboretum Dr E, Seattle, WA, United States

Now you have raised some MORE problems: if we ask GW members to rate the different "destinations", you are going to get a fairly skewed rating if only one or two GW folks have ever been there. Example: there may be the odd nursery or novel garden just off the NJ Turnpike that only one GW person (like me!) might ever have been to. . .does my 5-star rating make it a "must-see"? I'd be the first to admit that someone else might find it only a 2-star. . .after all, this is very subjective material. Perhaps a tight, concise commentary on each "destination" would serve us better, possibly even following a standardized format. . .that way, we could each "read between the lines" and apply our individual value judgements as to whether we deem it worthy of a visit. And certainly in my case, I'd be more than happy to elaborate further on a particular destination I was familiar with, if someone needed greater feedback. . .following in that vein, perhaps a listing (w/ permission, of course) of those GW folks who had visited and/or recommended each location? Too complex? As to your concern about eliminating "worthy" destinations if they are "too far" from I-95: providing mileage (at least) , and possibly estimated driving time from an exit, should be a given starting point. Would I recommend visiting Chanticleer as you're cruising down I-95 south of Philadelphia, even though it's 15 miles from Exit #7?. . . in a heartbeat! What if you're over on the NJ Turnpike, a distance of 26 miles from Exit #2 ? . . .still, in a heartbeat! Shouldn't people know that Longwood Gardens is just 11 miles from Exit #7 (I-95 in Delaware), or that Wintherthur is a mere 6 miles from the same exit? All these hypothetical destinations point up two more criteria that might be important: best time (season) to visit (Chanticleer = only open April to October, no bad time; Longwood Gardens = year-round interest because of the conservatory; Winterthur = Spring). . .and perhaps a minimum length of time for a visit, which in the case of all these three, at least, would be half a day! In other words, these three are examples of destinations that you would decidedly want to include on an otherwise mundane trip down I-95, but they are NOT hour-long breaks in an otherwise tedious journey. The ideal, to me, would be a core of "casual", near-by nursery/garden breaks along any given route, but making sure to point up I-95's proximity to major destinations as well, even if it means traveling an extra 25 miles (or up to an hour?). Of course, any listing would include a web address (if available) to inform folks of hours and/or fees. This whole subject seems to get more convoluted with every key stroke! Yet, it still fascinates me. . .years ago, there was a wonderful book listing healthy/ interesting off-the-beaten-path places to eat when you traveled the country. Sadly, given the flux inherent in the restaurant trade, the book was quickly out-of-date and I've never been aware of any similar replacement (anyone?). This project has a very similar feel to it, and especially if it included garden sites, might prove more lasting. . .and once I-95 in the NorthEast is nailed down, we can start radiating outward onto I-90, I-76, I-78, I-80, I-84, I-91, I-87, California, here we come !

I know I know - for what I pay for this I really shouldn't complain..but it gets so frustrating. Anyway since you suggested I post my workaround method... sI remembered some of the more unusual words in the post- one of them was needlepoint navy.(scary what trivia my brain retains) So I put "needlepoint navy" in quotes just like that in the google search bar. Then a few possibilities came up, one of which was this. I just tried it now, and it didn't work, but thankfully it worked before. My suggestion is to put in whatever unique definite words you can recall in the google search box and chances are it will bring up a long lost post. hope this helps someone:) Here is a link that might be useful: the long lost post
