[Ansteorra] Price of Gas and Travel in the Kingdom

[Melissa Baxter-Kosub]

A friend and I discussed this exact subject this weekend while driving 
the five hours from Bjornsborg to the BoD meeting.  If I have to travel 
by myself, the cost of gas is prohibitive.  If I can travel in a group 
and share the fuel expense, it's not so bad.  I think I will continue 
trying to attend as many out of area events as my schedule will allow, 
but I will be doing it as part of a group.  I actually like this better 
because it presents a chance for more socializing.  I will still be 
attending the same amount of local functions as before.
