Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line from Point A (ie- East Washington) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in East Washington. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.1912, Longitude: -72.0184 In this case, the coordinates for East Washington have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |

| <3> | 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. |
