I'm in Fairfax.
A three hour drive for me is Lewistown.
If you're in South Central, you're probably in the York/Gettysburg/Chambersburg area. From what is generally considered to be Northern Virginia, that's about a 2 hour drive, at best. If I hustle and traffic isn't an issue, I can make Thurmont in 45 minutes if I don't mind.
I have homemade sauerkraut in the freezer, and I have a damned nice looking corned beef brisket in the fridge that I'm going to make for dinner Saturday.
Sunday morning will be hash.
