[CBFF] Introduction

[Steve Behrens]

Jan,

Still combing Assen with Google Earth.  Question:  There is a sizable chunk
of the city just to the West of the middle of town, but still in the
'loop'.  It is sandwiched by 3 roads; Balkenweg to the north, Witterstaut to
the south, and your 'beltway' that runs along the west side.  Google had
expunged this area of land, blotting it our with a green cover-up job....
must be top secret stuff....  Netherland's spy and undercover training
facility perhaps??  ;-)   So, what's so special about this area of the
city??

Just curious.....  If it's your spread and you have a special deal with
google to keep it under wraps, I'll understand!
