I live in North San Diego County. The farthest I've driven for a game is North Hollywood (4-6 hour round trip). I don't think I'd go much farther than that.

I've done the 5-6 hour round trip twice. That seems to be the max for me. For the right price/condition (& If I had more time), I would consider going up to 10 hrs. I've travelled quite far for work, so it's not a big
to me. All part of the pickup experience. If I could find more stuff locally, I probably would raise my distance standards
