Hmmm so let's see, have drove to see a hobbyist once. He lived in Rockhill, SC and that's about an hour away from me not even. I had no problem doing that.
I was flown to Tampa for a 3 day date twice ...
That went great. (See review)
I was flown to Myrtle Beach for an overnight once.
A guy from New york (He used to work for freddie mac.. ha!) flew to the carolinas to see me. Oh yeah and he was HOT!
How far would I drive to see a hobbyist? 4 hours max and he better pay a deposit. If it's a reg no deposit is needed.
