If you have/install google earth and the trails you can see the fires position relative to the trails

Thanks for posting.

When I clicked on the "Appalachian Trail.kmz" file from that thread and zoomed in without panning I came to a point just southeast of Campbelltown, Pa. that's 6.02 miles from my house. Does that mean I'm the closest WhiteBlazer to the center of the A.T. universe?

(That might depend on exactly where hikingPA lives...)
