Footnotes ...

<1>Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a '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- Chesterville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Chesterville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 39.2759, Longitude: -75.9152       In this case, the coordinates for Chesterville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2>While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.
