Lol, Mackinaw City is upper peninsula and it’s just over 8 hours as well.

I’m not saying it’s an impossible drive, but arguing the drive from Pittsburgh —> Maine is comparable to Pittsburgh —> Michigan is just silly.

It’s a hundred mile difference dude. It’s not that big of a jump. Mackinaw City is about 560 miles from Pittsburgh and Portland Maine is about 660 miles.

'most people' driving to Michigan are driving to the Detroit area. It was 280 miles from my parent's house in Moon to my house near Detroit.

It's around 700 miles from Moon to Maine (Portland).

Right, the difference is really obvious. We are significantly closer to Michigan than anywhere in Maine, clearly.

Yup, for some reason there's a mental weirdness about perceived distances. I was ~50 miles closer in Detroit than I would've been had I moved to Philadelphia.

Ok, a difference of 3+ hours from a time perspective is not significant. Got it.
