Heritage tourism - still making them crazy

Pennsy officials have come up with the idea of your touring their Civil War trails via Google Earth. Seems self-defeating to me, but let them speak for the plan:

"... with the global reach and interactive capabilities of Google Earth we will inspire the masses to say, 'I would love to go there' as they experience our Civil War trails," added Mickey Rowley, deputy secretary for tourism. "The panoramas featured are so detailed and vast that viewers will feel like they are one with the image and mere footsteps away from these historic sites."

The masses are easily led, it seems. York, here I come.
