When we get our house finished up the hill that time will likely increase to 20 minutes total. https://www.facebook.com/THENEWCDRA Proud member of the liberal scientific elite

Quote: 252 miles each way to Spokane plus food and lodging makes it so it doesn't happen often If that's the closest track that would top me. Although the ferry cost with overnight cabin is $500 round trip. Last edited by GwaiiEagle; 02/19/12 10:54 PM.

Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.
