Chris,
That same state invite should apply pretty much
everywhere... except Texas. 
I've driven from San Diego to Austin once and to
Dallas twice. I never cease to be amazed at how big Texas is. My first trip to
Austin, when we passed through El Paso I remember thinking, man we got to Texas
quick! Two days later (still driving) I realized El Paso
is about half way! Should have known better the next time, but was
still shocked.
I know what you mean about the Texas hill
country. That long stretch of ugly east of El Paso turns into some beautiful
country near Austin. I could live there.

I know you will be on a tight schedule, but feel free to head to Llano
through Houston and stop by Ellington Field (EFD ) . (yeah,
this is what you get when you let folks know you will be in the same
state...invites)
Yeah, likely a bit too much of a diversion, but I would love to share my
project with ya . Other than, perhaps, Tracy, you are the person I
would most like to check out my project, especially at this stage where so much
"real" progress has been made.
Please, do yourself and your family a favor while in Llano and check out
the best, "nasty" BBQ I have had anywhere; at Coopers. http://www.coopersbbq.com/
If I ever get flying reliably, it will be one of my Hundred dollar
hamburger/bbq trips. Llano is in the Texas Hill Country.
I went to school in San Marcos (also in the Hill Country) and
it reinforced my love for the region. I have not been to Llano in
about two years when my buddy and I went to a Jeep Jamboree (his big hobby is
off roading ) but the BBQ was gooooooood .
Uh, enjoy the DRIVE ;-)
All the best,
Chris Barber

Hi Doug,
Actually had thought about doing something similar - however, I will have
to wait until I get to Louisiana and determine what the schedule really is - one
of my sisters works so would be on a some-what tight time table.
Yes, would be interesting to see Marks PP 20B, but will just have to wait until
later to see.
