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- Butternut Grove) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Butternut Grove. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 41.3540, Longitude: -76.8975       In this case, the coordinates for Butternut Grove have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
