When I saw him in March and April, he mentioned the house was in his
daughter's (in Deming) name (and his house in Houston was in his sons'
names).  When Sam drove Tim Hogeboom and me to what (is currently called)
Crazy Cook, I paid more attention to his stories than the route.

Do you have the coordinates?
