CoHo Ecovillage Now Visible on Google Maps

Our home, CoHo Ecovillage, is now visible on Google Maps. When I looked about a month ago, it was still showing up as an overgrown field. Now you can actually see the layout of our buildings and grounds. I think the satellite photo was taken sometime last summer, as it doesn't show the photo-voltaic panels that were installed on the roofs of the residential buildings in October and November of last year.

Below I overlaid some labels on the Google map photo (click on it to enlarge). The building where we live has three other living units. All that greenery on the east side of our property is a very steep hillside. The image makes Crystal Lake appear very close to us, but it's actually some 40 feet below. Crystal Lake is more like a bog or swamp than a lake.
