If you are ever in southern 7 land, I'd be happy to sit and have a beer/coffee with you.
your wish, of course, is my pleasure to fulfill as alas another 60+ day road trip is in works beginning Juneish along the U.S. southern route > GA, TX, NM [side trip possible to AZ] CA ^ WA > ID, UT, CO, IA, OH, > home ~~ exhausted !!
keep you apprised as plans bear connectivity...
