Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- Bremen) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Bremen. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.9014, Longitude: -96.7891 |
