I went to the Appalachian Trail conservancy web site and looked up the position of the shelter she stayed at the night before she got lost. From there I went to google earth and found the trail but that's all and just an approximation. From the ATC map with contours and the photo from google earth, It looks to me as though if she had pointed her toes down hill and walked, crawled, dragged herself about two miles DOWN HILL she'd have found a road. Period. I don't know what her problem was, and I'm sorry for the families grief.
