I'd go for sure!
Then again, a 5 hour drive for us is really nothing. The nearest big city (Tulsa) is 2 hours away, Dallas is nearly 4, Amarillo is 5. For people like us, it's nothing to have to drive far. If you're not so used to it- that's a totally different thing. I've driven as much as 9 hours alone. This was before cell phones for emergencies (yes, I did have a quarter in case- doesn't do much good tho if you're in the middle of nowhere ).

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity- would be hard to pass up.
