Wow. I will redo.

At this point I am thinking that my brother's GPS, Google Earth and  
two GPS units operated by the US Air Force all got the same result. I  
will check my old journals on what the Air Force got. In those days  
the GPS units were only good to about thirty feet, I believe, but  
will certainly be good enough for this purpose. That was in the good  
old days when Sandra and I were fighting to get the stealth bombers  
to stop overflying our organic gardens on instrument-controlled five  
hundred foot training missions. They figured this was a good  
territory for it, good irregular terrain and few people to kill or to  
have become agitators. They responded favorably and moved the flight  
plans north.
