Fascinating. So much work put into the investigation obviously

[@dianeo]

The picture within picture really brings it to life! So fascinating and a thrill to see at least a few pieces of Charlie's history still visible today. Thank you again for the amazing detective work.

Love the 3D map illustration.

[@SilentLocationsbyJohnBengtson]

That 3D map was only about 10 years old when Charlie filmed. It was a different world

It’s just so sad that time must march on only to be destroy by progress. I love see how the past 100+ years looked. I hate to compare but…..
