Mike, this virtual reality headset is better than Pokeman Go. It shows us the path to find water. I am loving this. It shows where all the hills and valleys are before we get to them.

Jim, are you still with me?

This is so great. I don't  have to continue to adjust the headset to stay on the path. It is done automatically through the headset. I think we are almost there. We are about to reach our destination.
