5 hours is nothing! You east coast guys are wimps :-). We'd go ape to
have a nice concrete site located less than 5 hours away. Heck we used
to put on a local Northwest Region event each year in Walla Walla, 5
hours from Seattle and it wasn't even concrete. Let's take at the
distances (each way, double for a round trip) us northwest folks have
to drive to get to the nearest Pros and NTs:
Seattle -> Bremerton NT - 65 miles
Seattle -> Wendover Pro - 805 miles
Seattle -> Atwater NT/Pro - 895 miles
Seattle -> Fontana Pro - 1190 miles
Seattle -> San Diego NT - 1272 miles
Seattle -> Topeka Pro - 1865 miles
