8.3 miles from the nearest route. Alright! Now I just have to find a tree I can down as a roadblock, some mercenaries, some high-temperature milling equipment…Er, for a picnic. I’m going to need mercenaries for a picnic. Yeah, that’s the ticket. 😉

And I’m 101 miles from the nearest dump site. Or, as the enviromental protesters would put it, dangerously close. 😃
