yeah, it was just a quick doodle - proof of concept, following the trail indicated on the USGS topo map. Wasn't meant to send anybody up the mountain with these coordinates. I do have a proper gpx track somewhere on the hard drive, but can't find it right now.

Also - anyone attempting the Mountaineer's route who needs to rely on 36 waypoints they found on the internet posted by a character who calls himself Fishmonger really should stay home in the first place grin

The drawing function is useful to show basic directions without having to create a new map image file for every route discussion. I have many of those image files on my server, and some are rather large images and eihter too small or too large when loaded in a browser without additional zoom levels for context - example Clouds Rest JMT alternate route.
