Re: A little something for the "Older Generation" here at EOG..
By the way, a few years back I was heading home from St Paul MN and decided to drive through Iowa. Just over the state line, I stopped at a welcome center and realized I was a short way from where the plane with Buddy Holly went down.
So I decided to follow the directions on how to get to the site. Which included looking for 3 silos (I'm not kidding). I found the fence row and decided to walk the half mile back to the site.
The fields had been plowed and were partially frozen and muddy. About half way there, I fell. I'm old, fat, and have two artificial knees. I figured there was no reason to add another dead body to the fence row. So I decided it was close enough and turned around. Managed to get back to my car, popped a Buddy Holly tape in, and enjoyed the ride home.
