In this contribution I present evidence that the HV-OVI absorbers detected by FUSE along the majority of the lines of sight track a Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium filament in which our own Local Group is embedded. From combined Far-UV and X-ray data we conclude that this filament has a temperature of log T ~= 5.8, baryon volume and column densities of nb = 4-6 x 10-6 cm-3 and Nb = 4.5 x 1019 [O/H]-10.3solar cm-2 respectively, and so a linear size of 2-4 [O/H]-10.3solar Mpc.
