    Hi All,
    
    I thought I'd take a hack at identifying prime landmarks (cities,
    lakes, etc.) that I would expect to be near the centerline of
    Columbia's reentry track, with some adjustment (read "guess") for
    prevailing winds.  I'll start with New Mexico and work backwards:
    
    New Mexico
    ----------
    Clovis
    Sumner Lake
    Santa Rosa
    Albuquerque
    Gallup
    
    Arizona
    -------
    
    Hopi Indian Reservation
    Shonto
    Cedar Ridge
    Page
    Lake Powell
    
    Utah
    ----
    
    Big Water
    Kanab
    Mount Carmel Jct.
    Zion National Park
    St. George
    
    Nevada
    ------
    
    Caliente
    Hiko
    Goldfield
    Tonopah
    Coaldale
    Basalt
    
    California
    ----------
    
    Mono Lake
    Bridgeport
    Yosemite National Park
    Sacramento
    Davis
    Woodland
    Vacaville
    Oakville
    Santa Rosa
    
    
    "Connect the dots" using these cities and you'll have a fair
    idea of the most probable corridor for Columbia debris west
    of Texas.
    
    Cheers,
    Rob
