Heh. Drove to Colorado for vacation late May / early June.

Endcap days of the trip were both 950 miles Denver to home in ~14 hours. Loved having my own vehicle, carrying whatever we wanted, not having to be on a schedule. Only time we had to dela with an airport was to pick up and drop off mrs. Effin's sister & brother-in-law who were on a tighter schedule and had to fly out to meet us. Edit: Would totally like to make a longer PNW or Utah parks roadtrip one of these years.
 Previous Message and I totally used to be that person, I think it's just left me over time. Cannon Beach is four hours away and Bend is six and they both feel like brutal drives. Previous Message Previous Message
..and it doesn't seem like enough to make a special trip.
