      The size difference is getting to me too lol

      I used to drive a 200 mile round trip weekly to visit home while I was in college.

      Houston to East Texas is a fun drive.

        I had a german professor once remark to me about how different Americans are, like hundreds of miles is a day trip, hundreds of miles is a week long trip by car. Bet the trains are awesome though. Amtrak long distances seems way too expensive relative to my other options when factoring in time.

          “An Englishman thinks a hundred miles is a long way; an American thinks a hundred years is a long time.”

          East Texas is more when it gets woody and Louisiana-lite. Houston is sorta on the edge.

          Lufkin/Carthage/Nacogdoches/Tyler is more east Texas than Houston.

      A 1000 mile radius does cover a chunk of the US. Centered on Denver it covers basically everything west of Michigan (excl Alaska and Hawaii of course).
