You pushed a car 14 miles in 30 minutes?? Unbelievable!

Google "Westchester County" for boundaries.

http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=Westchester+County&hl=en&ll=40.888601,-73.830872&spn=0.173377,0.300407&sll=40.92389,-73.874645&sspn=0.086642,0.150204&gl=ca&hnear=Westchester,+New+York,+United+States&t=m&z=12

Use "Google Maps - Directions" for distance calculation.
