<2>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Heirs of F P Fatio Grant) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Heirs of F P Fatio Grant.
