Goggle says your 46.4 mi away. But it didn't change your ranking - still number 2.Purplehood wrote:I really doubt that 18.35 miles is correct (FM1960 and Champion Forest area).
I drive from home in NW Houston to work (inside the 610 loop) one way 26 miles. Friendswood is further south.
I hate MapQuest.

I am very fortunate to live very close to the range - 3.5 miles. Post your distances (street miles, not as the crow flies) and I will keep the top 10 current in the OP. You can post your home city if you want as well.

That picture looks very familiar to me. Maybe from a Stephen King novel?

OK, it's time to play "trump"
297 miles from my front door to the Best Western in Clear Lake where I have a reservation. PSC is actually further yet. I'm using Delorme's Street Atlas and am getting the calculation from it. I'll be able to demonstrate it when I arrive.
