Now Albert it really isn't that hard to get to!!! unless you lose count and
miss one of the cattle guards in which case you will be forever lost in
Comfort. HEHEHEHE

Count me in as I know how to get there. Seriously everyone needs to come as
this sounds like the start of an annual happening and besides everyone can
drive Albert crazy flirting with Elizabeth. HEHEHEHEH :)
