Still planning to go to Chapel Hill
and I wonder how far Pat Olwell’s workshop is
from CH? Anybody know? Driving time
would be helpful.
Google has it at a little over 3.5 hours (164 miles)
Mapquest has it a bit farther, but less time!

Those numbers seem pretty optimistic. Depending on how you come and traffic, 4 - 4.5 might be more realistic.
Thank you. Doable.
those numbers work fine
'course ya gotta make the run starting about 2:30 AM
and not miss any turns 
Good luck finding Patrick at 6 AM. 
wasn’t part of the question 
was it!
No way, dude. I make this trip all the time. Three hours, if you’re already in Chappie and aren’t driving an Amish buggy. I make it in 3.5 from Raleigh, myself.
Jim, do let me know when you’ll be here in the area, especially if you’ve got time for a visit! Cheers,
Rob
p.s. Not sure what Mapquest says, but the straight shot is 86 North to Yanceyville, thence on up 29.
honey, I gave ya a link…yer lucky I can find NC from here
you are expecting entirely too much from a dumb Yankee that hasn’t lived east of the Cascades since '72
some messin’ about to 86, 29 & more messing about
Well fine. But you have a lead foot, man!
Actually you’re probably right, it’s another half an hour from Patrick’s to my house, which I didn’t take into account.
Excellent. Thanks everybody, and thanks Rob, much appreciated.
Hey, the messin’ about is what it’s all about!
Rob
so it is…
I didn’t have an address, just the city names.
