Well, I like driving, and would drive long distances to check out ham radio stuff and people, but the time is the problem. Its not something my wife Valerie would enjoy, and disappearing for a whole day would not be fair.
I think its about 500 miles? and traffic would add to the time it took to get out to western PA.
