"How bad do you want it" score

Post by honouredamongfoxes »

A calculated score that suggests just how much effort a forum member is willing to get to the island:
Distance in miles from home to the island (Windigo or RH/Tobin) x Number of visits.

Can use

as a simple distance calculator.

Mine is 1227 x 4 = 4908.

7,146 using straight line distance to McCargoe Cove. (968 x 7) + (321 x 1)

But I get 10,064 using shortest road miles to G.P. (1396 x 7) + (292 x 1). Not sure which distance is better to use. Interesting that the road miles for my first trip from central MN is shorter than the bird miles--the difference between the dock and the island is less than the curves in the road!
