i do not think that mark sky's statement of it has to be 60 miles away is correct, however, even if it is, it is still reasonable. you would be surprised, sometimes something will look 10 or 20 miles away. but you look down at the DME and it says 40.

remember also, that the part of the trail that "has to be 60 miles away" is almost to the horizon (the part that touches the hill).
very possible.
