From my driveway to the Shell... 120 miles.


In the car: 90-105 minutes (dependent on traffic)
In the truck: usually 105-120 minutes (traffic doesn't matter)
Pick myself up, stop lookin' back.

yeah, 1-2n hours would be either option 1 or 2, whichever... dont much care for precision

i was curious because i believe that the majority of visitors are from farther away, rather than closer... counter intuitive, yep, but... i feel like the red has a much larger national reputation than people realize. i always ask folks at the crag where they're from, and i feel like i more often get an answer of "florida" or "new jersey" than "lexington". even doing a weekend tally of license plates at miguels will put kentuckians in the minority.

1 hour, 50 minutes to Slade.

I'm going to shoot for 1 hour, 40 minutes once they finish all that construction on 75 south in 10 or so years.

There may be more visitors from farther away, but I think the tards on this website are mostly "local" (ie. w/in 3 hours)
How you compare may not be as important as to whom you are compared

that's not always the most accurate, though... my car has PA plates, but I live in Lexington.
