<2>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- Ramoth Church Estates) to Point B.Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Ramoth Church Estates. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.4032, Longitude: -77.4520       In this case, the coordinates for Ramoth Church Estates have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
<3>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.
