For some guys it may depend on how hungry you are or how bad you want to play the gig.
As for me? I have travel farther for less and enjoyed every minute/mile. I learned a few things doing road gigs. I believe every gigging bass-player should do one to get out of your 'comfort zone' for the experience.
