Take a ruler and draw a line from Abilene north to the Texas/Oklahoma border. Now draw a line west from Abilene to the Texas/New Mexico border. Any place north and/or west of the lines you drew is quite suitable. Open AND not too far (less than a day drive) from the mountains. Also VERY conservative.
"Also VERY conservative."
I thought that my hometown was conservative until I moved to Lubbock. It is arguably the most (if not, then one of the most) conservative college town in the US.
It is good to see that you continue your PR work! :-)
