I've been looking for a friend on the SSA Sailplane Tracker but there
are no flights currently shown for Moriarty, NM.  A quick look at
Flightaware 0E0 clearly shows him south bound out of Moriarty.  What's up?

The SSA site is pulling from Glideport Aero using pilot GPS Trackers. It does not appear that it is being supported or further developed to consider use of ADSB / Transponder Tracking which Flightaware uses.

I see Mr. Walker is having a good flight out of Moriarty in 6X.

Dan-
If you are looking for 9F, (Miguel), he landed at Double Eagle in ABQ due to gust fronts at 0E0. Talked to him a while ago. All is good- his wife is bringing the trailer from home.

Thanks Mark,

I was following on Flight Aware, noted his landing, and texted him a
welcome down message.  He told me this morning that the ground crew
helped him put the glider into a hangar and he waited on a couch for his
wife to come.  They got home at 2300 last night.

Looks pretty promising today!
