Re: How far does your team drive?

Prior to the Michigan District model, we drove down to Chicago (~5.5 hours) on a school bus. To top that off, we left at 2am in the morning to get there at a "reasonable" time.

Other than that, ATL was the longest drive. Normally, it is about 12 hours on a coach, but last year was significantly longer. We were to leave at the beginning of school (7:15am), but the bus we were assigned was broken so they had to get another. We didn't leave the school for another two hours or so. Then, our bus was having some annoying alarm going off, so we stopped at a gas station for 20 minutes. Then the bus broke down right outside of Metro Airport (spent another hour at least there while a new bus was brought to us). I think we got to ATL around 12 ish.
