Actually, with a LOT of license, that landout and a whole lot more happened
on one eventful afternoon/evening to Chris O'Callahan (not a doofus like

about it and it's posted somewhere on the Internet. Absolutely one of the
greatest landout stories that came out good that I have ever
heard...especially if you know Tonopah and just how desolate it is out
there.
