And we still do <g>.
Actually the best I ever heard was 15 years ago when I involved
in rodeos. We had many rodeo riders come in from Wyoming for the
summer and they would think nothing of driving from Lake George
NY, to outside Philadelphia (~~ 500 miles) to ride the rodeo for
the evening then drive home to work the next day. This was with
a horse trailer behind them! The said in Wyoming it was not
uncommon to travel 500 - 1,000 miles as rodeos were few and far between.
That's dedication.
