Beau,
Where's it at? Could I beat you there? JK!
In any senario as to date, shell type, shell sizes (especially if it's and 18" BD)etc. mentioned above... it's well worth the $350 and the drive. I sometimes justify the "drive" by making it a pleasure trip (with sight-seeing, etc.) with my wife. My oldest son (older than you!!) likes to "geo-cash" (or something like that).
That's my opinion, anyway!
Oh, BTW -- we will be in your town on Sunday, May 13... will you?
Bill
