[talk-ph] suggest a new mapping party event

Is this the lakes?

Hmm.  Looks like a tough one:
http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=14.302146,121.520977&spn=0.069697,0.111666&t=h&z=14

The shoreline looks very complicated.  I found some cloud-free landsat
data around the area (March 2009) that might be useful.  I'll try to
download and trace the approximate shoreline and then we can verify on
the ground and add resort details.

What ya think?
