[Ansteorra] comments on Western Region problem

Ditto.

I travel a minimum of 1 hour to go to the closest fighter practice. 45
minutes on a good day. Our Princess is a little under 2 hours north of me.
My knight is an hour and a half away, my Laurel is an hour away. So in that
I think I am very lucky. Other squires and apprenti do not even have theirs
in the same state. :)

I know I have already killed six vehicles to the SCA cause through the
years. ;)

The best gas mileage one was the Geo Metro convertible. It took only one
tank of gas to go all the way from Austin to New Mexico. :)

We frequently have 30-60 minute drives each way to attend meetings in the
DFW area. Most local events are 2+ hours away from home. We often travel 5+
hours to go to events. It is a matter of priorities and finances, I suspect.

I'm hearing alot about this distance thing... What kind of distances are we
talking about here? We have members that come in from Altus, which is about
an hour away... But they don't get to come to every weekly meeting and most
of the later-in-the-evening one are kinda out since they have to include
drive time back home... Just kinda curious...

"local groups" is reduced to two, the distances involved to "belong" to a
group are simply too far for any reasonable person to consider travelling
regularly.
