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- Clintondale) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Clintondale. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.6948, Longitude: -74.0513       In this case, the coordinates for Clintondale have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).

<4>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.
