- Smallest “footprint” of available structure types

Here are some photographs of what they look like:

Our beautiful trail-for now
Big bridge on the trail-but it could quite possible be gone soon
If we don't save Brushy Creek this bridge could be totally demolished and gone.
Kayakers out on the creek
Route I chose
Variables
Total sq. ft. of vegetation loss=v
15 miles=y7 foot doors=d
2.5 miles=x
Tower height of 80-140 ft.=t
6 foot male=m
Towers=s
Calculations
I calculated that v=1,320,000
There would be 79200 feet in 15 miles. If you measured how many 7 foot doors would be in 15 miles, there would be 10,414.29 doors
I calculated that d could go into y 10,414.29 times
There would be 13,200 feet in 2.5 miles. If you measured how many 7 foot doors would be in 2.5 miles, there would be 1,885.71 doors
I calculated that d would go into x 1,885.71 times
The transmission towers are 80 to 40 feet tall. You could stack 13-23 6 foot men stacked on top of each other.
I calculated that m could go into t 13-23 times.
The total amount of towers that could go into x would be 10.
10:13,200 ft.
I calculated that you could fit 10 s's into x.
