| <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- Grenfell Glen) to Point B. In other words: 'As the crow flies'. |
| <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 Grenfell Glen to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Grenfell Glen. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 45.3169, Longitude: -75.7267 |
