'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.
