	GRASS, a public-domain GIS developed by the US Army Corps of
Engineers comes with some sample remotely-sensed data from Spearfish, North
(South?) Dakota, and maybe more.  I've not played with it for a long time,
but I imagine the current archive still contains that data.  Please don't
ask me for more details, I don't have them; I just helped install the
package some time ago.

	For free software, it's a great starting package, but beware the
code, it even *acts* like army code:  if your data gets out of line, the
corps dumps on you. ;-)

	A quick search through the ftpable-readmes WAIS service for keyword
"grass" yields the following likely archive sites:

   1: Sc: 1000, l:  66 '/alex/edu/uiuc/cso/uxc/pub/grass/4.0/README'
   2: Sc:  875, l:  15 '/alex/edu/uiuc/cso/uxc/pub/grass/4.0/manual.ps/README'
   3: Sc:  875, l:  48 '/alex/uk/ac/ic/doc/puffin/graphics/grass/README'
   4: Sc:  875, l:  48 '/alex/uk/ac/ic/doc/src/graphics/grass/README'
   5: Sc:  531, l:   2 '/alex/mil/army/cecer/cerl/pub/grass/README'
   6: Sc:  500, l:   3 '/alex/edu/uiuc/cso/uxc/pub/grass/README'
   7: Sc:  469, l:   4 '/alex/edu/uiuc/cso/uxc/pub/grass/contrib/README'

To interpret these, drop the "/alex" prefix, then read off hostnames in
reverse order, followed by the pathname to the README file (e.g., number 1
means "ftp uxc.cso.uiuc.edu; cd pub/grass/4.0; get README")
