Right now I've got only two scheduled trips on the horizon. The first will be in about 3 weeks meeting 30 other vintage Apache owners near Sequoia NP. That'll be about 750 miles each way (taking different routes). The second trip will be west of Seattle meeting yet another group of Apache owners. That'll be about 200 miles one way.
Beyond that, I've been searching out some very cool places for boondocking. You'd be surprised, but not all Washington State is lush green and rainy. I'm in the desert/steppe area which receives less than 8" annual rainfall.

I try to stay within 2 hours of home for most trips. There are plenty of campgrounds in that range. We went to Seneca Rock, WV last week and that was 3.5 hours and about 150 miles. Mostly winding country roads. I could not leave till 5:30 so that got me at the CG just after dusk. It is a PIA to set up in the dark. Especially when you don't have your flashlights handy.
We will be going to the Niagara Rally as our big trip and that will be 4 hours and 250 miles.

For us, its all about the location and the people we want to camp with. So if that means a 5-7 hour drive, then so be it. Travel time is usually the last factor for us when planning a trip.
TRUE but my arse begins to hurt after 3 hours ;D
