I live in North San Diego County. The farthest I've driven for a game is North Hollywood (4-6 hour round trip).  I don't think I'd go much farther than that.

I've done the 5-6 hour round trip twice.  That seems to be the max for me.  For the right price/condition (& If I had more time), I would consider going up to 10 hrs.  I've travelled quite far for work, so it's not a big to me.  All part of the pickup experience.  If I could find more stuff locally, I probably would raise my distance standards
