Lets talk about Windber and how much it costs for the weekend. I mean from when you leave home until you get home again. Gas, Food, camping/lodging, registration etc.
For instance. I'm about 400 miles or 8 hours away. I just took a 223 mile trip today to pick up a minibike. I filled the van before I left and filled it when I got back. It took 17 gallons at $2.49 each, it got 13.1 mpg. It cost $42.50.
Now, 400 miles would cost me about $75 one way. I eat a lot and drink a lot of pop/water so 3 meals a day say, $30 per day. Registration $10. If camping $150 for the 4 nights, if hoteling, it would be double to triple that plus the gas to and from the event. So about $500 for 4 days if camping. Say $650 -$750 if hotel staying. That doesn't include anything else you buy.
Is that what it cost you to go? I bet it costs more especially if you bring another person or two with you.
What do you guys spend? Could be $1000 weekend .....
