First, "still within easy driving distance" is not going to happen in the DFW area. Second, no Okie would willingly move to texas. Third, that 4-5 hour drive to/from the ranchito will get old fast. You'll need to budget for that PPL and an airplane - cuts the travel time down to 2½ hours. Just move close to (if not on) an airport/airpark. Of course, then you'd trade the MB habit for an aircraft one (more expensive).
