| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'point-to-point' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Saint Kilian) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Saint Kilian. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.5433, Longitude: -88.3609 |
