im not sure if anyone else does this but i was having trouble thinking of good places to guerilla grow .( i live in a populated area ) so i fired up my google earth program , started scouting parks from the air and i have now found 4 areas that i can park outside of and walk through the woods . i checked one spot out today and used my gps to mark specific locations so i can find them again ( and also go to them from different ways each time to avoid making a path ) id list a link but my puters acting stupid . just google " google earth " its pretty easy to use .

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/01/05/google-earth-coming-to-android-soon.htmlBy Will Park on Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 at 5:55 PM PST In Android, Devices, HTC, Hottest Hardware, Nexus One, Photos
With all the Nexus One hubub, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) made a couple surprising announcements today that almost slipped through the cracks. One of the surprises was Google’s announcement that both Verizon(NYSE: VZ) and Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) would soon offer the Nexus One on their respective networks. The second surprise was Google’s preview of the Google Earth app for Android. As we mentioned in our Nexus One announcement live blog, Google will soon bring Google Earth to the Android Market, complete with fly-by animations and bird’s eye views of your favorite locations on planet Earth! The iPhone has been blessed with Google Earth for a while now, but Google Earth for Android isn’t yet available. To whet our geeky appetites, Google gave the media a preview of the app at their Nexus One press conference. Going on that demo, we can say that fly-by animations were smooth, thanks to the Nexus One’s 1Ghz processor. Bird’s eye view allows the user to explore a location by panning and tilting around any location. Most impressive, though, was the Google Earth app’s ability to search out locations with voice search – a feature that’s tightly integrated into almost every aspect of the Android 2.1 OS.
For now, we don’t have any videos of Google Earth for Android in action (sadly), but we do have some shots of the app demonstrated on a Nexus One

Another good thing to do would be to drive around ive found hundreds of 5 plant to 75+ plant spots within 10 miles of my house and the best thing is the soil is so good i dont need to worry about digging holes and filling with dirt all they need is some good airation and a little water to start off.
But google maps fails me for finding my areas i havnt found one usable one. whereas i can drive around with afew dozen clones right before it rains and have a plant here a plant there 4 plants there ect. mark them on a big map and come back in october 30% of the crop usually thrives which is a percent i can live happily with.

I was just thinking about this and stumbled on this post. I grew up a country boy with grow locations ALL AROUND ME. But yeah, had to come to the city too and having trouble finding a spot...
If you don't want to go out of the city, check out some industrial areas! From driving around that seems to look the best. Access may be tricky though...
Also, I was thinking you could check out the NRCS website for soil surveys. It will show soil maps with descriptions about topography, soil type, and drainage. May be helpful in combination with Google Earth:

ummm, this is some of the most helpful advice i've gotten as far as preseason prep. what a great tool google earth is, and the web soil survey helps even more. now im not gona be surprised when i do and dont have to hike soil around. thanx
Word. Thanks bro... I'm going to start scoping for some nice soil...
Now I just gotta figure out what soil is best... some kind of silty, sandy loam?
