I was basing my guess on the extra miles by thinking you have a few miles South of Detroit to the Turkey Ranch, and you also have the mileage from Bagwell to Batesville that you don't have to travel now to get from Clarksville to Paris, plus several other shorter strips of road we had to travel then, but I will drive it out soon. The road from Detroit to Clarksville was built in the 40's, because I remember getting a job putting out the night flares, and I moved from Detroit in 1950, so I can pretty well remember working on that road.
