Question
My 3.5 year old daughter launched a balloon with a note attached from Northbrook, IL (zip 60062) and it was found 10 days later in Port Albert, Ontario (on the shore of Lake Huron).

What is the aerial distance between those two points in miles, please?

Thank you very much!
Eliezer

Answer
I don't have access to any special information about distance between two points. You can do this yourself using a map that shows the entire area.

I looked at a map, found the two cities, and measured the distance between them... I think it was 337 miles.

best,
Malcolm
