CasualObserver 3,408 #1 Posted June 15, 2016 Just wondering who travels the farthest to the show... Clearly @neil would have won in a prior year... but in CONUS, how far do you go? I know I'm not the farthest as @joebob , @Shynon , @wheelhorseman1000 and @Terry M are all a little north and/or west of me, but I'm right at exactly 1,000 miles from front door to South Mtn Fairgrounds. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheelhorseman 3,211 #3 Posted June 15, 2016 7 miles less then Shynon!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #4 Posted June 15, 2016 Well , It's about 49 miles south to SHYNON's , and we'll be leaving from his house......so that gives me about 1098 miles. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 11,063 #6 Posted June 15, 2016 937 for me and worth every mile. @gulftane will be there and he is probably a tad further. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #8 Posted June 15, 2016 JoeBob is quite a ways more north than me. I think he starts out the journey with a sled dog team... 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,436 #10 Posted June 15, 2016 Well, I am clearly NOT one of the long distance guys. Depending on the route I decide to take, anywhere for 27 to 33 miles for me. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,198 #19 Posted June 15, 2016 562 for me, it will take about ten hours including stretch your legs breaks. Be pulling out Thursday morning and get in, unhook and set up the easy-up before supper. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,079 #20 Posted June 15, 2016 We had a leg stretch break but no pee breaks! 262 miles for me. And depending on how excited I get the amount of stops I need is directly proportional! 2 hours ago, roadapples said: I drive my truck so I can sleep in my own bed every night SO,how many times do you need to stop Jay? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
