I use a Garmin ForeRunner when I run, and it's easy to download the tracks and import into Google Earth. So that's what I did! I also added a USGS map overlay to show contours.

Just walking alongside each lateral and mainline, I put this together to share my progress with friends on Facebook:

I discovered in the process too that Google Earth will generate (using its own terrain data) an elevation profile along a path, which for this example is my mainline. Glad to see the program agrees it's all downhill!

Hmm...what else can I do with this?
