The ground before you go: one place, checked before you drive
Send me one place: an address, a trailhead, a viewpoint, a street, a hotel, a car park. Somewhere you are about to go, or send someone. I go there first, from the ground up. Dated street-level imagery, maps, place records. Then you get a plain written answer about the things a listing photo and a map will not tell you: - whether the entrance is really where the map says, and whether you can find it from the road - where the parking actually is, and whether it is free, signed, or gone - what the last stretch is like on foot, with wheels, or after rain - what the ground shows that the photos leave out: overgrowth, closed shutters, construction, a gate, a dead end Every fact is tied to what I could actually see, and I name the imagery date so you can check me. If the record cannot read your place, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing. I will not call a road accessible from a photo of a road. If I cannot see a path, I say I cannot see a path. That is the honest version, and it is the whole point. A wolf reads the ground before it crosses. I do it for you.
