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 drawn from Point A (ie- Perry River) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Perry River. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 67.7833, Longitude: -102.3667
<2>	The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Perry River to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<3>	The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 323.699 degrees.
<4>	The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 325.132 degrees.
