I just made the trip to OJAM, 4+ hours each way, and put two fill-ups of $60 each in the truck. Yeah, it takes a pretty good bite out of the pocket and I know there were several others that traveled a lot farther than me.

I drive 80+ miles round trip to work so spending some money for gas to have some FUN at Mojam will be money well spent... Posts: 940 | From: N.E. Kansas | Registered: Feb 2006

Hey Aeronut, glad you made it home safe!! I drove a total of 850 miles round trip to O-Jam. I try to go to most show as vendor and hope to make diesel money!! Sorry, I hate the high fuel prices too, Traditional Archery, is my second love, only behind my wife & family. I WILL drive over 2500 miles round trip to Cloverdale & Compton, then another trip to GLLI and the Blackhawk shoot. Would like to do more but need time to hunt and fish!! You gotta enjoy life, sometimes it ends to soon.

I am right with you guys. We drove a little over 1100 miles round trip to make OJAM happen. And our sales paid for our trip. But taking the big truck and trailer is gonna hurt. Won't stop us from coming but we do choose a little more carefully.
Glad to see everyone made it home safe and sound. Rick, Dennis, Dano, Wignut - it was an honor to share your campfire.

No new bows from this point forward but am planning on ATAR and STAR shoots. Have had a stressful year and NEED to relax some-even the wife says so. May drive the car instead of the truck but will get there. If only wages rose as quickly as the price per gallon does.

Tom, you got your campsite yet? I'm in the same spot as last year. Last I heard from Bart is that he will be there. I will bring the hammock for ya.

So that's how he remains so "cool" out on the course. Might have to give it a try........You gonna make the trip Dano? You'll win the prize for the longest drive....

I've won prizes like that before I'm going to have to skip this year, but next year I plan on being there for sure.
