| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Fort Rupert) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Fort Rupert. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 50.6944, Longitude: -127.4126 |
| <2> | If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'.
