Start address: Rockville, MD 20850
End address: Marion, IL 62959
Distance: 806 mi (about 14 hours 58 mins)

Google says almost 15 hours and yahoo say about 12.5 hours.

Thats a poke for me as well. Last year I was ready to get the hell outta the car by the time I arrived and that was about 10 hours. I was hoping it would be a little closer the next time

If some of you really want to go but don't want to drive, you could fly I'm sure you could hitch a ride from a fellow .net member when you arrive.

Man I want to go, I have to teach the damn new employees their jobs on Sunday (at noon) though...I wonder if I can arrange that though...go early on Sat and leave early Sunday...probably not worth the drive....I'd get there say Hi, have dinner, fall asleep and then have to come back. :-(
