We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database. |

| <3> | 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- Brereton Lake) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Brereton Lake. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 49.9118, Longitude: -95.5248 |
