We drive 90 miles & sometimes just for the afternoon & a boat ride on Saturday & mow & then come home early Sunday

I 'd rather go friday as early as possible & Mow & clean everything up

& others arrive later or early the next day

This is the 1st time this yr where just the wife & I are going (no hassles)

Other than we went to Green Day Concert last night (Great ! ) but were getting too old to have that kinda Fun :smt038:huh: (never grow up - all you do is get old) :grin:

We agree 100%.:thumbsup: When you are over 50, you should never act you'r age:grin:

We average about 50 miles, depending where we go, if we go to the coast around 100 miles, Lake, about 30.
 
About 15 min to the lake place. Seemed like a good idea three years ago, but proved to be a bad idea. We are so close, we never stay there.
 
It's about 50 miles for us to get to the marina. Worth every minute...we love it!
 
3 hours and 45 minutes almost every weekend. It's like a mini vacation every week. It helps that I work 4-10's and have every Friday off.
 
Shanghai...beautiful marina and lake....trailered my 290 down there last year.
 
I have towed my boat 300 miles each way to a lake in California, twice now. Otherwise the local boat ramp is two miles away.
 
I don't tow mine - have a dock & Lift - but I may move where bigger water could be a ways away & wonder how far I'd drive to get there ?
 
84 miles one way to the slip in Bloomington, Indiana, IU. It's a scenic drive once I leave Indianapolis. It takes 90 minutes no matter how I drive. In 2008 we were at the lake 24 times and 2007 29.
As far as cost, it is expensive once you break down the costs per day. $1,874 for the slip, $700 gas-boat, $500 gas-car, food, insurance etc. It breaks down to $149 every time we take the boat out.
But we love it and jones when we are not at the lake. Third boat in 6,7 years.
 
We currently drive 120 miles each way, I go at least three weekends a month year round.
