TXCHLFDay 2010 - Who is traveling the farthest?

[terryg]

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.

Goggle says your 46.4 mi away. But it didn't change your ranking - still number 2.

Those country boys and girls in Tomball are always trying to one-up folks...

[tomc]

OK, I'll be the first. 291 miles from N Dallas.

Your now at the #1 spot. I suspect that may hold for awhile.

I'm just curious who to see who is traveling the farthest to this event? 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.


1. tomc - Dallas, TX - 91 mi
2. USA1 - Tomball, TX - 54 mi
3. Purplehood - Houston, TX - 46.4 mi
4. TLynnHughes - - 14.9 mi
5. williamkevin - - 14.9 mi
6. gwashorn - Alvin, TX - 7.9 mi
7. terryg - Alvin, TX - 3.5 mi

I'm not real sure, but I think it's a bit further from Dallas than 91 miles.

I think I remember terryg saying something about providing an
all expense paid weekend for two at the Hyatt Regency Downtown for the winner.
Right terryg?

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.
