It's pretty common in the far north as well apparently, with some people claiming people are willing to drive for several hours just for a party.

In the central east, people generally aren't willing to spend all day in a car. A couple of hours drive is acceptable, but once you're at ~5 hours we generally expect to spend the night there. And to not leave at 0600 in the morning:)

As a bonus, some of those mountain passes can be a bit finicky, so they're often good to … not plan very optimistically.

I imagine there's similar sentiment in larger cities (NYC, LA, etc) vs more rural areas here in the US. I grew up in a less densely populated area, so driving long distances was just what we did.
