Carla and I generally travel over 450 miles for a 3 day weekend. There is a gathering of some sort going on somewhere. So I really don't mind the hard traveling.
While I understand some people HAVE to drive a long way to get to a suitable area, and others ENJOY the driving, this just doesn't make sense to me?
450 miles, at an average of 50 mph actual driving time, has a person driving for 9.5 hours, pretty much the whole day.
So you drive 10 hours, then spend another couple setting up camp, cooking, and whatever.
The next day you "camp" then wake up and drive another whole day.
I guess I can understand the lure if a person enjoys driving just as much as camping, but if you don't, what's the point?
Sure are a lot of people that voted for the "up to 450 miles" option.
Not putting anyone down, just trying to comprehend how camping for one day is worth 19 hours of driving?

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
