I had no idea that you could hunt down a g-spot using Google Earth! I have to google my GF's address.
Sorry. Having some tequila right now and the juvenile humor is coming out.

Yikes. Tequila + Toyota Yaris = blender from hell.
At a party years ago, I decided to make my night more efficient by mixing it up in a 7-11 Big Gulp cup. As the night wore on, the ratio of orange juice to vodka slanted towards the vodka.
Yup. I have very few memories of that evening. I did acquire a wicked aversion to screwdrivers.

Ooog... no more tequila for me
I got a lot of acres that look about like that. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for shooters, the plague wiped most of them prairie dogs out.
We only saw about 30 at the second to last annual pasture poodle shoot yesterday. Since the shootin' was poor, those fellers resorted to entertainin' themselves with a big ol .50 rifle
AT the last shoot they poked away at a rock between the long white vertical ridge and the smaller one off to the left. Well they plumb destroyed that one so they decided to try something more challenging.
Ya see that kinda horizontal white rock ridge just below the horizon? Well they started on it and then went to work on a vertical face at the left end of that ledge.
I kept hearing comments like " I used the bottom mil-dot and held about even with the top of Laramie Peak." You can't quite see Laramie Peak in this picture,but it's out there. About 40 miles out there. The layer of clouds you can see in the distance are about even with the top of Laramie Peak.
We kinda calculated that rock was about 1 1/2 miles out there.
After several rounds, a big ol buck antelope come scurryin' out of the sage brush about half way to the rock. I reckon the crack of those rounds going about 300 feet over his head must have woke that rascal up.
You had to have field glasses to even see the antelope.

So I went out yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours and basically parked my truck sideways with the nose pointed toward the left side of the picture and my truck centered at the up side of the prairie dog town. Used my new Millet window rest and shot from the truck. As you can tell from the scale, the town is pretty large so first I shot using the Freedom "Blaster" .308. When you hit a Pdog at over 100 yards with a 308 you get vaporization and a serious "mist". After 4 rounds I switched to my "CyberSport" and Freedom "Blaster" .223 55gr fmj. I had a couple of phone calls which slowed down my shooting but my Caldwell Brass Catching bag worked great and I got 5 more, the wind was slow but gusty and it made it hard on farther shots. I am seriously happy with the Freedom Ammo, it is not as good as my handloads but it is pretty good and I get my new Chrony this week so I can learn more about what I am doing right, wrong or other wise.
