When's the satellite imagery from? Based on the shadow, it appears to still be there. (I'd check myself, but I have yet to reinstall Google Earth.)

Also, topic is moved to correct forum.

No, that image is the same one as on Google Maps. Google Earth for the computer (not the web version) would allow you to see the date it was taken on, which neither Google Maps nor Google Earth (web) allow you to do.

Okay, according to Google Earth, I honestly don't know. It appears that the image used on Google Maps and Google Earth (web) isn't on Google Earth Pro (for some reason), and the most recent satellite image (2-8-18) has the shadows at a bad angle, meaning I can't see if the gate is still there.

The best way to tell though would be if someone were to drive out there and see for themselves. Even if it's gone, the classic cantilever signals are likely still there.

(Also, have it be known that Google Earth Pro uses a full gigabyte of RAM, yet is still somehow laggy as hell.)

i don't have my driver's license yet which sucks because the particular gate is an hour's drive from my house!

Can your parents take you out there?

they could but i honestly doubt as they work three 12 hour shifts at night and they sleep during the day a lot because of it. my sister also has a drivers license but she got a job at the car wash andshe works 3-4 days in shifts albeit not a full day
