Stumbling Across Interesting Things on Google Maps

This thread may not go somewhere... we'll see.

This is what appears to be a gravel track in someone's back yard just north of Leesburg?

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

What the hell??? At first I thought the design in the lawn to the northwest had the shocker in there. That lawn design is insane, either that's one badass boy scout troop, or one with a batshit insane scout leader.

I did some digging and it turns out that's a corn maze. One serious freaking corn maze.

I'd like to know more about this. Little road course in Chantilly, methinks for police training.

I wonder if the police would rent out the course if they got offered some $$$. Would be a good way to supplement their budget or raise money for charity.

It would be nice but I'm willing to bet the insurance absolutely forbids it.

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...

They've been approached by a few autocross organizations. Not a chance. Did used to autocross at an MD state police facility in Sykesville though. Was wild. Enormous gun rage there too. Gunfire in the background all day.
