Narrative:

From hou-mem clear (hou-lfk-J101-shv-walet 5 mem). Caf south of lfk center cleared us direct eld VOR walet 5 mem. When we did not receive eld we asked for a heading. Center gave us a heading (when able direct eld). Handed off to the next sector we informed center we were on a heading for eld, direct when able. Everything seemed normal and the flight was proceeding in a routine ATC manner.
