Wawa Elevations

Two peices of news. First I put all my Wawa locations into a Google Map which is here.

I was going over the data and noticed I also didn't have the Franklin Ave Wawa, which the below link didn't have. I went back to the Wawa site and they didn't list it. This is puzzling since that store is quite old, and I don't think closing. I now assume my missing stores are the ones missing from Wawa's own site. (I later found it southbound on 73).

Secondly, by popular demand I found the elevations for the Wawas. I really wanted to get elevations from the start but couldn't find any way to elevations from longitude and latitude. I spent a few hours and downloaded literally a GB of data from the NGS. Finally though I discovered a site that gave the elevation data in a small simple file from the lat and long in the URL.

With that it was a simple matter to make a batch file with 539 commands to have lynx dump the page to a single file. Then I added it to the spreadsheet and here are the highest in each state:

State	Store	Lat	Long	Address	City	Zip	Meters	Feet
PA	270	41.0704920	-75.7041700	RT 940 and Turnpike	Kidder Township	18661	466	1528.9
MD	590	39.5613408	-76.9663412	805 Leidy Road	Westminster	21157	269	882.5
DE	826	39.8287879	-75.5424637	3448 Naamans Road	Wilmington	19803	123	403.5
NJ	985	40.6964516	-75.1759533	411 Roseberry Street	Phillipsburg	08865	106	347.8

Let the Wawa highpointing begin!
