	Here's an idea guise. It doesn't matter exactly how long or far he walked. We have a rough estimate and that is perfectly fine. Not even an FA is going to go to this place, track Chris' steps, and measure every path he walked on, much less measure the change in elevation. We don't need to know.

	* Honestly, I'm having a hell of a time doing the calculation. The problem we run into is exactly which direction he took. We know he went to the woodland theater first, so measuring from the parking lot to the theater (there's two paths) you get something like 800-900 feet with an elevation increase of 40 feet. He goes past an 'open field', which could be the Lower Meadows trail. It could also just be a small clearing on the Umbrella Magnolia trail. We know there was then two forks in the road. We know he makes his way to the Carter Family Overlook and can assume he drug his sorry ass home from that point. And of course, we can't neglect the very real possibility he got lost and walked in circles for a while on one of the loops near the Woodland Theater. All we can say for certain is he was winded walking 300 yards with a mild incline. If he went counter-clockwise on the map, maybe a two miles. If he went from the theater to the overlook, just about a mile.If a field agent could verify the clearing and the 'red growth' tree, which path that was on, we could pin point it better. As well, no one would doubt that he took healthy breaks when the camera was off. So even if it was two miles, I wouldn't be shocked if it took him hours to cover that ground.

			::: I've given that a shot too, I actually used GoogleEarth. What I did was resize the PDF map as well so that it's a pixel per foot to calculate distances. The problem is, there's no landmarks you can see from the sat photos that you can see in the video. This is also thanks to Chris's idea of what is noteworthy - "Look, a tree on the ground. And another one. And some moss".
