| <2> | 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- J Summeral Grant) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in J Summeral Grant.
