Cornwall Wildlife Trust Nature Reserves
The attached file gives Google Earth placemarks for all 54 CWT reserves, together with a brief description of each one and a link to the CWT website for more information.
The topographic detail is somewhat limited in some areas, but hopefuly Google will improve on this in due time. If anyone knows of a source of more detailed views, that perhaps could be added as overlays, I'd be most interested.

Vietnam - US Facilities
Please find attached 289 placemarks of US facilities in Vietnam that were constructed sometime between '65 and '72. Thanks to all the veterans out there in cyberland who have posted their photos, maps and stories. It was with these that I was able to nail down, to within tens of feet, the locations of these places. I hope that you, the user, will click on the links to see where I received the information for the placemarks, and to read the notes, stories and photos uploaded by American veterans of the Vietnam War.

I have also included a small number of locations of significant fighting, but only because I came across some info on them and figured I�d include them. I am sure there are thousands more of these points to add.

I have been working on this in the evenings for the past 2 months, and I will be hopefully be updating this file periodically. If anyone finds any errors or additions, please post them.
