    Looking at, and reading of the bigger picture, it seems the right move.

    Thanks for the info / link.

      Glad we were able to see it a few years ago. But it does make sense.

        Makes sense. And after that closes the remaining pieces will go to IMS.

          I always wanted to see the Jim Hall Chapparal museum but it is just too darn far out there, almost 6 hours from Dallas.

            It wasn't there in 2001 when we visited, but I did get to drive on Unser Blvd.!😊
            Have a very blessed day!

              The stretch between Fort Worth and Abilene is mildly scenic in places (well, maybe not to a guy with a view of Denali out his back door). But the part west of Abilene is a whole lot of nothing. Wind turbines, pump jacks, and center pivot irrigation units are your scenic highlights.

              It's sad for Albuquerque, but now will be a whole lot closer for me.

              Edit: I've been to the Jim Hall museum. It's actually part of a petroleum museum. Also nearby is the George Bush house, a modest ranch style home where two presidents, a first lady, and a governor (Jeb) lived.

                I went there with my mom sadly my mom has passed too. I could have met big al but my mom couldn't wait she had to be back at work by a certain day that was 2013 or 14.

                  It was on my bucket list to visit the Unser Museum, we did it back in 2019.
                  A few thoughts, it was built in an urban setting. That was not the best idea.
                  It was a very nice Museum, with lots to see.
                  The fella that gave us our tour said some days nobody showed up, the afternoon we were there we had the place to ourselves.
                  After leaving the place I said to my wife what will happen after Al dies, this place will go under.

                  I'm extremely happy it has found a new home.
