Footnotes ...
| <1> | Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance. A straight line distance ignores obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Burningham Industrial) to Point B. Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Burningham Industrial. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 40.5230, Longitude: -111.8891 [Map]. In this case, the coordinates for Burningham Industrial have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). |
| <2> | 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. |
| <3> | 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 Burningham Industrial to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East. |
| <4> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 331.90 degrees. |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 331.436 degrees. |
| <6> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 321.784 degrees. |
| <7> | The Find-a-Grave website is an excellent research tool with information about a cemetery's location and interments. They also offer a forum for their members which can provide additional help. More information about Find-a-Grave can be found on their website: findagrave.com. |
