jordanh Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'm currently 100 miles from the lake that I have my camper at, on a seasonal spot. I'm relocating to a different city and will now be 200 miles from my camper. The bonus is that now my wife and I will have 4 day work weeks so we will be able to enjoy 3 day weekends. Just curious to see what you guys travel , and how you feel about the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Kelvin Posted July 2, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 2, 2019 150 ft from the house to the lake. I have skied for 35 years and discovered private ski lakes early on, finally bought a lot on a new development 15 years ago and moved to the lake 10 years ago. After finally getting to the lake, I don't know what took me so long to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skiinxs Posted July 3, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2019 150' to the dock which is about 30' from the 600 (jump course) and 50' from 2 ball. Bed is about 75' from entrance gates (which I can see out one of the windows when in bed:) ) Just don't ask how far of a drive it is to work.
