[Ansteorra] Traveling from South Coastal

[Richard Threlkeld]

Though that is a non-trivial cost, we have thousands who go to Six Flags
here in Arlington and pay $40 each for admittance plus food and drink,
trinkets, and the cost of gas to get there. For two people, that is probably
well over $100 for local residents.

Elfsea Springfaire cost $10/person and was about 250 mi/roundtrip from my
house. Pulling a trailer, I got about 25mpg for about 10 gallons at an
actual price of $2.79/gallon yielding $27.90 + $20 (site fees) or about $48
for a two day event. With the cost of group food, it was around $75.00 (for
two dinners, lunch, and breakfast, but note I would have to have food at
home also).

Even with the price of gas, SCA events are still a bargain compared to
anything except staying at home. And carpooling, sharing trailers, and
sharing food plans can reduce your costs.

In service,
Caelin on Andrede

IT is 466.9 miles from Corpus Christi to Canton. With my low millage car at
33 miles per gallon car that is 14.15 gallons of gas needed to get there. At
2.83 per gallon that is $40.04. Round Trip $80.08.
