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 from Point A (ie- Pipersville) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Pipersville. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.4254, Longitude: -75.1393       In this case, the coordinates for Pipersville have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<2>While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program.
