Wow!  I was looking at that on Google Earth but just eyeballing it rather than getting actual distances and it didn’t look like that at all.  I would definitely accept your figures, though.  It certainly looks like you got all of the “far end” ALSs  - or so close as to not matter.

My abject apologies!  Awesome job!

You may want to have a quick look at a map now, however.  When you start considering Canadian ALSs (especially myself) that no longer holds true.

Of course I considered the Canadian ALS's, and yours. See below. (Sample distances- apologies if I missed a "far end" ALS) ( http://www.indo.com/cgi-bin/dist )
