One other thing I forgot to mention: Elevation
This is all fairly high elevation for people who normally live in Illinois.
Luning NV is at 6400 ft and Tonopah NV is at 6000 ft. Lake Tahoe NV lake level is at 6500 ft for comparison, and we think of that as an alpine lake.
It's surprisingly cold at that elevation at night. Right now, the low temps in Luning and Tonopah are in the high 30's or low 40's but, for example, there is a weather front coming in next week that will bring the nighttime temps down below freezing.
This sort of elevation could be associated with respiratory or even cardiac issues if either one of them is prone to these kinds of ailments. I would have thought that they would be able to communicate with relatives about any untoward health issue that was developing.
