Sounds like something a camping trip could cure!

I have seen posts from people all over US and Canada and was wondering who drives the most miles to get to the Fort? And how often do you get to go ? For us it's 656 miles. We go once or twice a year...
 
As my "location" says~721 miles! we're in VA. I'm still trying to figure out how to move to Orlando!
 
Since we usually make minor side trips on the way down (tire shopping, beer hunting) I used mapquest to come up with 1195 miles FW. We now try to go once a year and stay till we are broke.
 

857 miles according to my Garmin. Too, too far away if you ask me.
 
From Columbus, OH -
978 miles if I take the East route down I-77 (WV Turnpike) to I-95 to I-4.
1012 Miles if I take the West route down I-75 to the FL Turnpike.
I usually take the West route to avoid the WV Turnpike; it's a real pain to drive on when pulling a camper. Even though it's a longer route to the West it's usually a little quicker because the roads are less curvy and hilly. It also depends on if I can get through Atlanta without hitting rush hour. I guess it’s kind of a a toss-up weather to go through Atlanta or Orlando, both are often bad.
I make the trip at least once a year, more often if I can (the years are listed in my sig).
 
Google maps says 1024 Miles, but with getting off for gas, and campgrounds, and one lap around the grounds and back out on I-4 (see trip report for explanation of that one) the truck said about 1125 miles. We want to go every year, but in all likelyhood the next trip won't be till Oct 09. :(
 
1300 each way from Iowa. We go once a year , for 2 weeks, but in 4 years we will be moving much much closer. Just waiting for employee rates on insurance when we retire...lol.
 
It is a little over 800 I think. I will have to double check that. I know it takes us about 15 hours.
We only get to go once a year right now. Hopefully we will have time to come more in the future or at least for more than a week at a time.
 
About 1,000 miles for us one way. We get AP and go twice on them 2 weeks each time. But its almost a year between trips.

Right at 800 miles door to door and that's just outside of D.C. at the intersection of Rt. 28 and I-66 in western Fairfax County (basically 10 miles directly south of Dulles Airport) to the 1600 loop at FW. :rotfl:

About 1260 from Clifton Park, NY! This is our first trip camping at the Fort but we always drive to Disney no matter where we stay, and we'll be camping for 11 nights.
