Well, Don Henley is from Northeast Texas, which is basically Arkansas, but Glenn Frey grew up in Michigan at the other end of IH-35 from Texas.

Well, 2000 miles is about three days drive in my truck, but I guess that's because I plan on buying gasoline at actual places where it is for sale instead of using a siphon hose in the Walmart parking lot. Interestingly, among the shows that there satellite tee vee delivered to the motel in Sanderson was once about a bunch of Oregon low lifers who were hunting truffles in the woods between meth labs and clear cuts. I'd like to think they were more than five years from anywhere.
> Henley and Frey are from Texas.
Don Henley is from East Texas. Gilmer, I believe.
Glenn Frey, on the other hand, I think was a Detroit boy. Friends and early collaborator with Bob Seger he wound up in LA in the late sixties. Don't think he was from Texas.

Very nice photos. What is the elevation of the area you were surveying? Just curious.

The ground under the total station is about 2300 ft. elevation. (2303.11 ft. NAVD88 if we want to get technical).

You caught that episode of “Munchies” on the Vice channel? You really let the freak flag fly behind the closed doors of the auto court don't you? The clip after the truffle hunter is about a friend of ours, Kelsey, who owns Homegrown Public House in Florence Ore. All of her food is local - fresh fish from the docks down in the bay, meat and greens from local farms and lots of food she and our nephew forage for – truffles, fiddlehead ferns, morel and matsutake mushrooms… probably not the fare that would be agreeable to the aged palate of a Texian fed a steady diet of Wolf Brand Chili, Chimichangas, Ranch Style Beans and Pearl Beer, but for the rest of the free world it’s a pretty delightful little restaurant.

[sarcasm]Yes, when you get to Mexico city make a haaard left and go about another 1000 miles until you see the Big Apple[/sarcasm]

I missed the nominal title of the program, but it was basically a slice of Oregon backwoods culture with a couple of dudes with rakes hunting truffles in some typical Oregon setting with lots of traps around a property where they figgered someone was operating a meth lab in a dilapidated trailer.
It made one of the Texas car fixer-upper programs seem quite industriously respectable by comparison.

Kent, you should know by now that all of those reality TV shows are fabricated using a recipe of 5% reality and 100% BS.
