I'll add another full timer's opinion. We'd travel 8 miles anytime if it's a nice setting with reasonable room in the site and for maneuvering. I get such a kick out of some of these comments, it sounds like so many of you drive constantly, 300, 400, ,500 or more miles a day everyday, only have time for a Walmart. I'm curious where are you going? We travel 10,000 or more miles every year, get itchy after staying somewhere for more than a week, and cover a lot of ground. 8 miles is nothing. Good luck with your project. Finding campgrounds is getting harder and harder all over this country.
I can speak for myself... I DW and I only get a set amount of vacation time from work.. We don't want to spend that valuable time dilly dallying down the roads... Sometimes we have to pull long days to get to where we are going.
Example.. A few weeks back we were coming home from vacation if Florida .. We left at 6:00 AM.. drove till 9PM and stopped in Doswell, VA . That was 780 miles in 15 hours with a dinner stop.. We stayed the night and was at it again at 7AM the next day..
All that so we could unpack, rest and go to work the next day.. After driving like that, I am in no mood to drive an additional 8 miles OFF the highway to stay the nigh... JUST MY OPINION...
