When I kept my aircraft at Squamish I had to drive an hour each way, however the owner of the floatplane company 30 yards from my house let me add a small finger on the back of the dock so part of the Summer I kept my seaplane there.
My main complaint about keeping the aircraft so far away was not the drive so much as the lack of a any social content at the airfield. When I learned to fly there were flying clubs with social space or a bar. These days everything is commercialised so it is arrive, fly and leave. Not the same at all.
