You can drive a long way without it seeming strange.
When I moved to the US someone suggested a trip to the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. They said to meet them there at 2pm. "Sure", I said.
Then I looked at a map. It was 80 miles away. 80 Miles! What kind of lunatic drives 80 miles to go to a park?
