It's 1.5 hours both way for me, and I'd have already been back there but between holidays, work increases and some unexpected funerals, I have not gone yet. Bonnie lives in an area, last I heard, that is the same amount of time away.
NO, I am NOT 30 Min away. More like 2 Hrs. drive. Further, I don't know who or what to ask when I'm there, but Docsetc has all the right connections. Since he knows the ropes, it's best he calls on them.
