I did a few more measurements. These are a bit more precise than my previous post as they meticulously follow the paths, cross roads at crosswalks, and even route through the entrances to the feature. Hope others will find this useful. I have bolded each route that is substantially shorter.

I was most surprised to find that the shortest route to the Meadow Trading post is to go through 500, out the comfort station walk, to Fort Wilderness Trail. I doubt I would have plotted this route in my head. Also surprising is how equal the distances are for those in the back of the loop using the canal walk to those in the front using the sidewalks. Very interesting.
(Yes, I'm inordinately fastidious!)
Wow, you are amazing. Now that the 300 loop is plotted, I wonder when we can expect all the rest?
