[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 7203595, member: 23"] 2 miles!?!?! That is WAAAAAY too optimistic. Let me demonstrate [url]https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.3653369,-75.7304853,3a,75y,54.13h,86.42t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s7oy2umCfNtFPr-h3tL3UXw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo1.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D7oy2umCfNtFPr-h3tL3UXw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D275.9244%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en[/url] If you look due east, you will see a tall, square building in the distance. That is Dunton Tower, and it's aproximately 3.5 km (slightly over 2 miles) away (and it is 77m tall, or over 250 feet if you prefer). It's clearly visible, but it's not particularly large... it stands out because of its shape and how tall it is. Compared to this, a person would be but a minuscule sliver! Unless we are talking about a featurless plain with short grass, all someone has to do to hide at that distance is refrain from shooting flares. [/QUOTE]
