I know downstate direction is indicated by "as the crow flies", but what is the native unit of distance?

Is it a "yonder", a "stretch", a "hog's tether" or a "whoop and a holler"?

For example, would it be correct Downstate Speak to say "St. Joe Ogden is only a whoop and a holler from Tuscola as the crow flies?"

And what is the metric equivalent of a "country mile"?

Bout 10 minutes down the road, once you pass the S curve. If you pass Brandon’s house you’ve gone too far. Also, if you’re goin that way can you drop this off to Larry? He’s working out in the field over there today and forgot his lunch. Watch for deer, they’ll come out of nowhere this time of year.

We are his first offer, but there should be many more to follow, if this article is any indication:

Pretty sure he was the recruit at the open scrimmage...with his mom. Was being shown around campus after the scrimmage.

From St Joe Ogden, not far (from a downstate perspective) from Tuscola, so I wonder if he knows Jalen Quinn.
