I took a helicopter ride of the Vegas strip last night. We found a Groupon so
for 3 of us it was only like $60 each for about a half hour ride. Now I want a
small chopper.We flew in a Robinson R44 II, looks like new they run half a
million clams. With a cruising speed of 130mph I could cut our travel time to
camp from 8.5 hours to probably 3...

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).
