Is Robert not in that area? I thought he was in Albuquerque?

I wish the young lady well and a safe trip. I know if they can the MVS members will help where they can.

When I was discharged after my time in the Pacific, I drove from CA to Houston to visit family. You can drive all day long in a straight line, starting in Texas, and still be in Texas at the end of the day. Sure hope somebody steps up to cover the West Texas void.
The line from "Cast Away", spoken by the late, great Lari White comes to mind:
"And if you head back that direction, you'll find a whole lot of nothing all the way to Canada"

I live about an hour and a half from OKC and can try and help if my schedule allows and the need arises. I will say my knowledge is more in the P80 category, but I'm fairly handy and good at figuring stuff out quickly.
