That's awesome... one of my recent experiences included pushing a black-n-yellow taxi in pouring rain when the engine died on an uphill ramp of a flyover... Besides having sour shoulders for 3 days, I came out feeling like superman (which was nice!)... Oh and I almost forgot that even in that downpour, a by-stander promptly helped me and the taxi driver push the car away from the screaming-honking-inches-away traffic!

One interesting website that allows downloading custom conservation-related datasets is 'Conservation GeoPortal' found at: http://www.conservationmaps.org/Portal/index.jsp This portal looks for sources and allows downloading of conservation datasets from all over the world. One example is "soils" data looked up thru the portal at USDA's 'Web Soil Survey' at http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/ Check it out!
