Motels at Hobbs
Why would the SSA have it's headquarters there?
Mike Schumann "Mike the Strike" wrote in message oups.com... Mike Schumann wrote: Do you have a link? No, but I'll quote from the third edition of their Southwest guide and hope they don't kill me: "Hobbs, 69 miles out of Carlsbad and 3 miles from the Texas state line is the center of New Mexico's largest oil field. The town and the hrizontal landscape of the surrounding Llano Estacado is punctuated frequently by the seesaw-like pumpjacks or 'lufkins" stolidly forcing oil to the surface. If you're a soaring enthusiast, Hobbs is worth a visit...snip.....There isn't much other reason to visit Hobbs, but there are several inexpensive motels....." Says it all really - flat boring landscape, smelly oilwells, cheap motels and, occasionally, fine soaring. Mike
