Chenault is choice, and I highly recommend that.
There are fewer communities cheaper and more stingy with their money than HSL/HSM, so I'm surprised to hear that a -60B came through there. Perhaps there was a contract at one point and now there isn't (that happens). For the no kidding, real-time status of a place, don't look at the IFR Supp, but look here:
http://www.airseacard.com/cgi-bin/fbo_locate (non-CAC...there's a CAC version, as well). KTHA has is a no-go at the moment.

Looks pretty intense. Would be a fun way to end Primary and my last flight in the T-6.

The link isn't working for me. Is this the same HI-ILS that joe dirt posted?
Yeah, the HI-ILS 21 is the widowmaker. Lots of AF primary traffic from Sheppard. I did it in a T-44 coming back from Phoenix. It's a little easier with two VOR's and two extra hands to switch them. Marine 2LT ridealong had won $8000 playing blackjack back in Arizona, so he bought everyone dinner at Cattleman's on the main drag in Roswell. Delicious.
Two ways we can pay for fuel...credit card (Aircard) or identaplate. The plate is for places that don't take plastic like the ship, some military airports, hotpits, etc. Contract gas means we get charged a flat rate for gas no matter what the current advertised price is. For contract stops, the actual price isn't even on the receipt...just the number of gallons we bought.
Generally it is frowned upon for guys to plan to pay more for gas than they have to, but exceptions can be made.
I would have recommended Forbes Field in Topeka, KS if you were allowed to stray up north but since you probably can't, try KVCT or KDWH. Last I was there but places gave you discounted food for buying fuel and both had great burgers. Plus DWH is neat because they have an actual water runway on the field.

Leg 1: North Whiting, FL - Meridian, MS (PAR/ASR) - Monroe, LA
Leg 2: Monroe, LA - Grove, OK - Tulsa, OK
Leg 3: Tulsa, OK - McAlester, OK - Antlers, OK - Norman, OK
RON KOUN (Norman, OK [University of Oklahoma])
Day Two:
Leg 1: Norman, OK - Wichita Falls, TX
Leg 2: Wichita Falls, TX - Lubbock, TX (HI-APP)
Leg 3: Lubbock, TX - Roswell, NM (HI-APP)

Ah yes, the "literally nowhere good" plan. A lot of IPs love that one. Any explanation?
Plan early, plan twice.
But will they still give you the overhead break?
