A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Dunken) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Dunken. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 32.8131, Longitude: -105.2027 |
