I just google mapped it.

1.7 miles... 6 mins

It lies though, takes me 15-20 minutes if I leave early, and can take up to 30 to go 1.7 miles if I leave late. Sucks, about 15 thousand or so people all in a little area, and no real "flow" to the layout of the roads, almost every dang intersection is a four way stop. I've thought about just walking, or running at times, but I'm headed to do Physical Training anyways.. haha Though, I'll take it over AK's commute anyday..

Take a bicycle? Good exercise and probably faster LOL.


And yea that video was during some pretty crappy weather in the winter.
We get some amazing snow drifts. Many mornings work is canceled cause we have to wait on the blower to clear the roads




My truck is out there somewhere... along with about 20 other F-150's LOL

Currently not even a full block away. Walking at a normal pace takes me just over a minute. Basically, I walk around the office building, cross the street and I am home.

67 mile round trip 4 days a week, 139 mile r/t 1 day a week. Here's a beautiful winter morning commute on I-70 just west of the continental divide My previous job was about a 5 mile round trip in Phoenix, big change from there to here.

50min one way of country roads. Takes the same same with 10" or so of fresh snow thanks to it being a lonely road, so 50mph in 4wd is all good.

Sig was 60mph in 12-14"of fresh powder.

30min one way, all highway with very little traffic. It's a boring ride that is hard to stay awake for, lucky for me I carpool so only drive once every three days and sleep the other two. When I am not carpooling I try to drive the truck or my bike.

Nope! In fact most of my drive time is just to get off my gravel road. I try not to do more than 15mph.

I Google mapped my commute and looks like im just shy of 5 miles round trip. And depending if I get stuck behind a school bus or not, usually takes less than 10 minutes to get there.

I work in construction and the majority of our work is located two or three counties away, on average I drive 66 miles one way through traffic, daily commute usually takes 1hr to 2hrs if theres a fender bender.
