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- Bluevale) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Bluevale. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 43.8574, Longitude: -81.2485
