We are in Wabigoon after a 634 mile trek. Not a bad drive by any means, I'm just not as young as I used to be.

Richard! Do you just make this round trip then turn right around and make it again?

Totally understandable. Enjoy, and have some Tim Bits for me.

I did two last week also...... left after a 10 hr day at work. Went to a funeral the next day, left at 630 pm and did it again. The price you pay for moving away from family.
8hr 15 min. 1 stop for gas and that is it. 80-85 mph allows you to make some time.

A month or so ago we did nine hours each way to fish BC. It was a beautiful drive and well worth the "effort". ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/hoRGCmc.jpg)

I just don't "travel" good these days. I get an hour to an hour and a half before I need a restroom stop.

I just took the son to college, 960 miles each way. I'm a little road weary.

Jim, when you apply to 53 and only one accepts... (apologies to Wyo)
About 600 miles is my limit for driving these days. And I take two days to do that. I don't speed, and six to seven hours behind the wheel is modanuff for me. Then I find a good three-star hotel, get a decent dinner, eight hours of rest, and breakfast.

He could have easily gotten into any state school, including CU. The only schools that turned him down were Colorado College and Carlton. After that it came down to a good fit and money. His college gave him about 80% of the cost.

Pikers. I just got back from a month-long, round trip, Kenai Penninsula, Alaska to Twin Lakes, Colorado. Something over 5K. Haven't computed milage/fuel yet. 3 1/2 days down, 4 1/2 back Wife insists on late starts and a couple hikes per day... then drives the PU Camper 80 to make up for it....  My bony (or is that bonney?) butt hurts!

In a few weeks we'll be taking a 600 miler for our daughter's wedding, then back again in 3 days. We'll be towing a camp trailer, too. We might change our plans, though, and camp 1/2 way each direction.

I was only chaining your rattle, Wyo. Sounds like he made a good choice.
And now back to the mileage melange.
