Yep. Been there, it's a nice area. I'm at the other end of the Blue Ridge, a
few miles from the southern end of the Appalachian Trail.

Sounds useful. By the way, the 911 agencies in your area may be interested
in your help. We have something like that here, which displays the streets,
buildings, and fireplugs [important] for any given area. The program was
written by the 911 director. I don't know if there is a commercial version
available, or whether each agency is on their own when it comes to this sort
of thing.
