Pure Platinum on the run, verified by Google
 

Cruising around Google maps the other night, something caught my eye...

Zoomed in on Bob’s dock to see a white cat peeking out from the edge of the roof.

That got me going on a google maps boat hunt...

Let’s bounce over to PBC and see what they got going on.

Should be no surprise to anyone to see a few fast cats around PBC, but what I thought was odd was the Phantom MTI pulling up to the ramp. Hmmm. Why is Kenny in town?

Lest fly over to the Toad, see what they got going on.

Is this real life? 4 DCBs hanging out, and an MTI getting fueled up. Couldn’t be shootout time right? Can anyone ID the cat on the lift at the end of the dock?

Surely there’s someone out running around.
It took awhile but finally came across the Google Maps “money shot”.

There she is folks. Pure Platinum 388 Skater as seen from space.

Well played, Google Maps. Well played.

Google maps isn't live and Phantom wasn't even on the lake this year. Nor was Pure Platinum as far as I know. Possibly Shootout 2019.

Tuesday of Shootout 2017

If you follow 54 N you can see boats rolling in. Even 70 east has a few. Ask me how much time I spent looking for myself all through Illinois and Michigan hauling Mad Props down from Skaterfest to LOTO before I realized there was no SF in 2017. D'oh!
