In case you have not heard, this year's NSS Convention is 1,697 mile drive
each way from The Center of the Caving Universe.
That is 3,394 miles for you Aggies, assuming no detours or driving after
you get there.
You might as well budget 3,500 miles if to hope to drive it.
I drove to the historic conventions at: Porterville, Essex Junction,
Huntsville ( twice ), Rio Rancho, and Lake City.
I have also driven on several similar very long road trips to 3 Mexpeleos
and other road-trips.
In summary - been there done that. I do not ever plan on another long
road-trip.
If I can't fly, then I ain't going to any other far away places, especially
Tasmania or Montana.
Here is the link to the convention website:

Please note that it starts July 30th. That is 124 days away for you
Aggies. So if you drive you need to leave early on July 28th
If I save $ 10 every day, that is $ 1,240. That is probably not enough to
go. So I need to plan on setting aside $ 20 per day for the next 124 days.
Chances of that happening are about as likely as President Tr*mp caught in
a p*rn video with former Mexican President Vicente F*x.
