Default Compass Rose in North Texas?

I have an RV 6a and need to swing my compass. Is there a recently painted compass rose somewhere in North Texas?

Thanks

Default Yes there is.

The 99s painted a nice rose at Gainesville KGLE on the main ramp.

Either last year or the year before. Quite recently. The paint hasn?t faded.

Default Compass Rose

I second the one at Gainesville (GLE). It was painted by the 99s on 10/31/2016. If you need a hand let me know when you are coming and I would be happy to help out. I work (fly) out of the GLE.
