Default How far to the Dragon?

Hey, just though it might be interesting to see how far away people are coming from to the Dragon. Just curious as to how far away everyone is. So how many hours/miles drive to the Dragon for you? Home city and or state optional. I'll start :
Charleston WV
370 miles
6.5 hours

From our home in Cornwall, NY it is 785 miles but we are going to New Orleans today from Asheville first so that's only 611 miles to get up to the dragon.
