Appalachain Trail in Google Earth

[engmike]

hello, this is my first post here. I'm a regular user/add-on maker for nasa's worldwind and would like to make equivalent versions of my addons for google earth.

I found someones execelent kml of shelters along the appalachain trail, I like how its done and displayed a lot. What i havent been able to find is the AT it self. Theres data availible in lots of formats, shapefiles in particular. Could anyone point me to some info on how to load a shapefile in GE? thanks for the help

I've just put an example together to help understand how to build KMLs. It includes some coordinate paths that define Polygons. For a trail you'd use a LineString instead of a Polygon (the only real difference is one is a closed object with a fill, and the other isn't), so my example might help you get started.
