If a guy drives a long way to see you does it mean anything?

This guy and I have known each other for a few years. We are friends but not great friends. We both live in different towns so we don't see each other much, only a few times a year.

The last time I was in his town, he made a big effort to catch up with me (he asked me to catch up two days in a row while I was there - I was only there for three days). He also sent me a text letting me know he'd had a great time catching up.

He sent me a text the other night saying that he will be travelling to a city that is a few hours away from where I live (he's got a sporting competition on there). He said that on the way back he might take a detour out to where I live and he asked if I'd like to catch up. It is at least a three hour drive out to where I am. I live in a tiny country town and it's not exactly exciting out here, so I was quite flattered that he'd want to come out. He said he's never been out here before and would enjoy it.

Could this mean anything or is he just being a great friend?
