Re: How far do you Travel to Mentor?

2 miles home to shop. There's a hardware store on the way, on the right side of the road. I think I put in more mileage going to and from Home Depot and Lowes than from the house to and from the workshop. The rookie teams we mentor are about 45 minutes away; so far, most of the travel has been them coming to us. Fountainbleu FLL tournament is about 30 minutes away, and the state FLL tournament is about 45 minutes away; the team provides the core of the referee, traffic control, and field reset for both. Bayou Regional is about an hour away from anywhere in Slidell. St Louis last year was about the only 100+ mile trip I've taken so far to mentor or volunteer.

Edit: Perry regularly walked home from school last year in decent weather, even though there was a bus.
