I think we all get that, but even then relatively close does not equal actually close. By your standards then I am pretty close to Las Cruces, but I would not want to spontaneously make that drive. I doubt driving 7-10 hours is something y'all do on a whim, but maybe you do. Regardless, it is what it is.

Four hours I do on a whim. Seven to 10 hours I have to think about a little. Twelve or more I usually plan ahead.

Exactly. I drive to Las Vegas (8 hours), Phoenix (7) and Los Angeles (10-11) pretty regularly. My wife, on Mother's Day, wanted to do a day trip to Las Cruces (3) just to eat lunch and grab some custard. I've driven to Amarillo (4) and back in one day.

A wife who wants to do random road trips to college towns. Where do people find these amazing bachelorettes?

(I spend nearly every weekend September to March driving to college FB/BB games -- praying that's permitted next time I'm in a relationship)

Interesting! I've talked to people who work at Cal Poly and for basketball games, they say that even though they are about a four hour drive from LA, on Saturdays, they don't get many fans for LA schools making the drive up.
