Some Info here Up in the Hemphill Texas area..... which is next to Toledo Bend Reservoir.

Hemphill is where my parents are staying right now (In fact, they called earlier today and told me that they had heard the shuttle breakup). It is a very small town. I hope nothing was lost in the Toledo Bend lake. That body of water is huge.

We have a fishing camp in Hemphill. It is about 20 miles from the La. border... less, as the crow flies. It is surrounded by Sabine National Forrest... miles of nothingness. Hemphill is about 30 miles from Jasper and about 50 miles from San Augustine. On the Louisiana side it is near Many and Fort Hood. There is some sort of nuclear plant about 30 or so miles on the Louisiana side. (That would be southeast of Hemphill.) It is a small fishing community. February marks the beginning of White Perch fishing... followed by a series of fishing tournaments. The piney woods and bayou country are going to be something else to "hunt for debris".
