I like it right where it's at! It's only 3 1/2 hours from me.....

I like it where it's at to 1 hour for me, but I hate everyone else can't come be cause it's to far to drive.

Me too Kevin. I was just kidding. I wouldn't care to drive a little farther if meant lots of these other guys could come.

Something like north Texas would be nice. That would be about half as far for me. It would make it a lot easier to get to, that's for sure!

I wish it was close for everyone look how far it is for Clay to come out to put this on.
I made a nonstop (except for food and fuel) trip to san diego ca a few years ago and it was not fun 36hr stayed one night and came back nonstop 36hr. Driving a chevy avalanche pulling a 16' uhaul. It would not have been bad if we could have took our time I was moving a friends daughter from Ca. to TN.

Not really Bill, that's a two day drive. LOL No hurry when your retired! I think the farthest I've driven with the 5er is 500, a ice storm chased me from the Black Hills down past Denver to Santa Fe, NM. I was ready for a nap,

Just checked for me and it's 720 miles one way. A couple of years back I drove to Columbia South Carolina to fort Jackson, I split that up into 2 days. I think half way was Lexington. On the way home I did the whole thing in one shot. Came out to about 17 hrs. I was beat, but there was something about the want to get home that we just kept pushing. The biggest difference is I had someone going with me on the way home where I was by myself on the way down.

This trip looks like it will shake out to be about 10 hrs, pry more cause I'm going to want to stop some but it's defiantly doable. How much energy I'll have left to set up the pop up tho well that's another story entirely. I'm sure the excitement will keep me going.

I like the idea of a convoy that way if someone had problems you would have some FTE help.
