Footnotes ...
<1> GPS Coordinates for Wellswood Estates: 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 drawn from Point A (ie- Wellswood Estates) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. While we have tried to pick reasonable speeds, the rate of travel is very theoretical - obstacles like fences, hills, lakes, river crossings and rest stops have been ignored. When we say 'Days' of travel, we're assuming 8 hours of travel per day. The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Wellswood Estates to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East. The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 310.843 degrees. The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 305.247 degrees. The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 309.892 degrees.
