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 drawn from Point A (ie- Juddville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Juddville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.0587, Longitude: -83.9875
