The Crazy Geography of NW Oklahoma's State Parks
Five state parks with out-of-place geography are located in a 70-mile strip of land in Northwest Oklahoma. Here, you'll find an oasis of heavy timber in the arid plains, gypsum caves in the ravines, sprawling sand dunes, rugged badlands, and gypsum-capped mesas, and an expansive salt plain. In this video, I take you on a tour of these parks and explain the geography while dropping some helpful travel tips.

I Went to PRIDE in Small-Town OKLAHOMA. It was Eye-Opening.
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed měsícem
I attended the 2nd Annual Western Oklahoma Pride in Clinton, Oklahoma. There, I interviewed drag queens, health professionals, students, and community leaders and came away with a greater understanding of the LGBTQ community. When I arrived, there were a few protesters, but they left before I could speak to them. Overall, it was a very positive, friendly event. LINKS: wokpride.com/ dadshugtoo.o...

How MUSICAL garbage trucks transformed TAIWAN from "trash island" to recycling leader

Taiwan used to be called "Trash Island," and not in a good way. Today, it is a world leader in recycling, and musical trash trucks that play classical music are a big reason why.

You lost me in the first couple seconds w/ "When god made the earth... ...and that's a fact." I have no reason to trust anything you have to say about geography. Clearly you have an aversion to scientific facts.
I'm taking the 40 back from Arizona I look forward to seeing many of these hidden gems on the way back
You're doing an exceptional job compared to many other traveling posters. The production is sharp and concise. Thanks for your work. SOONERS ARE DIFFERENT.
Well, you might need a hit to make it all the way through mass.
Thanks for capturing an event in such a small place like Clinton! It's fun to see what Pride celebrations are like in small-town america.
Thanks for your comments. It was a very interesting event and a lot of fun, even for an old straight guy like me.
I grew up in the Wichitas and Medicine Park. None of these places are 'out-of-place'. They're all exactly where they need to be.
They are really beautiful.
Boys City. Great video.
Thanks 👍
I would like to point out a couple of things. You passed through Turpin and made no mention of the town. It's actually divided up in 2 locations. One at the junction of 64 & 83, a convenience store, post office, and most important, a very nice school ! Very competitive in all aspects of a Pre-K through 12 school. I'm sure the people would have appreciated the coverage. The rest of the town is located near the Kansas border following U.S Highway 83. There you will find a few more businesses such as wrecker service, car dealership, oil well services, etc. Some might say it is on the outskirts of Liberal, KS. . . . . you also missed a few others just south of Turpin, Adams & Baker. Plus a few other towns west of Guymon. Goodwell and Oklahoma Panhandle State University, Felt, going into New Mexico . . . .The pronunciation of Boise City is not like Boise, Idaho. The "e" is silent, think "boys". . . . . I enjoyed living out there, it is something different.
Yeah, I drove right through Turpin but it looked interesting. Next time! It took me 12 hours to drive from Woodward to Black Mesa that day so I couldn't stop everywhere.
Would've been a cool video without the weird socio-political commentary remarks.
Excellent video!
Thank you!
Those "5,000 years ago dinos roamed the earth" statues in Woodward always make me chuckle.
Agreed. Jesus on a dinosaur with the 10 commandments is pretty epic!
What is racist about a flag?
A flag flown by racists

Hey bro Im from Woodward , as well! My bros still live there! I know these sites!
That's cool. Thanks for sharing.
I would actually like to move to Cimarron County in the panhandle at some point, I like to say that it's the last frontier of oklahoma
If you can find a job or are retired, it would be an interesting place to live.
Cow chip throwing competition!? What!?
There isn't a lot to do in the Panhandle :) It was really fun actually.
Good work, as usual. :) I laughed at the forest rumored to be used by devil worshippers…. We had one in the Tulsa area when I was a kid - we scared each other walking around in it at night. Promoting Trump “just to fit in” is part of the problem, though. The Emperor’s New Clothes

Congratulations! You win a free trip to Oklahoma's state parks :)
@@planetbell1 lol
god bless Oklahoma !!!!!
S/O Woodward!!!! I grew up a hour north 15m in Kansas 💨
I wanted to go so bad! It makes me very happy our little town of Clinton is doing this to help the community. We will be there next year🎉
It was a fun, positive event. See you next year.
No the whole state is wheat and cattle field, nothing to pay attention to.
I feel bad for you that you don't see the beauty in this state.
@@planetbell1 shhh we’re not supposed to tell people. Development is taking over too much as it is. If people wanna come send them to the wheat fields but eastern Oklahoma is being developed to rapidly.
the rainbow is a promise, not pride. There is no pride in boasting in ones sin.
It is both a promise and symbol of authenticity for some.
@blown503 it isn’t our place to force what we believe onto others. Let people be and believe what they want and focus on your own life.
What shocks me is that "pride" gets a whole month to celebrate, but vets, mothers, fathers, Thanksgiving.......is ONLY given 1 day!!! This is where my problem, as a father and vet, stands with this "movement". A disgrace to the rest of society!!
I celebrate vets, mothers and fathers every day. You can too! Americans eat like it is Thanksgiving nearly every day as well :)
We have an entire month we dedicate to vets. We also have federal holidays for vets.
"Sports have become so competitive these days"... that's the whole point. Also, no one cares who / what you want to love. But we do care about our kids being sexualized. That's really about it...
Competitive varsity sports are important to kids, the school, and the community, but they do exclude millions of kids who want to play sports but don't want the expense and time commitment. It is just an idea to give more kids opportunities.
@@planetbell1 oh I agree with you, COED sports are a GREAT thing and more funding should go toward that. However, pure competition at it's finest, is something that burns deep inside true athletes and is the foundation of sports. Unfortunately, when males compete in female sports (huge biological advantage), the competition is ruined for girls/women. I love your idea that we perhaps need new categories in sports... 100% for it. Take care, my friend.

And all of 5 people showed up!
I'd say there were 300-400 people throughout the evening.
@@planetbell1good job responding to hatred with facts. You’re a good content creator. Thanks for highlighting the queer communities in small towns and show that these people exist in small town America and the torture they are going through from conservatives.
@@Cactus270 Thanks for your comments. Everyone I met there was so welcoming, positive and kind. I wish churches were that friendly.
Vote Republican. Heehee
Sad that Trump flags were even a thing. But I know they do that Trump trains on the highways and lakes.
And on the sand. But it isn't a cult :)
Leaves a blue state to comfortably act like a Dgenerate in a red state ⌚
If you grew up in OK you know that there are a lot of marijuana smokers here. All of them apparently got out and voted however they did not pass recreational probably because of so many dispensaries opening up. No one thought there would be so many! The Bible does not prohibit though.
I lived in Enid and for a brief time in Snyder when I was 10. I ran trains through Clinton, Cordell, Snyder,, Thomas and Waynoka. Clinton was the end of our run from Enid and we stayed in the Clancy hotel that you pictured to get our rest for the return trip. Also visited the Little Sahara several times for motorcycle riding in the winter. Why winter? Much more fun when the sand is wet and when you work up a sweat it's not because it's hot. I've never been to Beaver, Freedom or Medacine Park but Medacine Park looks like an intersting place to visit. There was one big rocky hill in Snyder my brother and I liked to play on when we lived there. We'd never seen anything like it being from Enid. Thank you for stirring up those memories.
Thanks for your comments and thanks for sharing. I was in Clinton the other day and they tore down the Glancy - but the sign is still there. Sad to see.
@@planetbell1 if we live long enough we see a lot of changes. Lord knows I have. Most leave ya disappointed, eh? I said I'd never been to Medicne Park unless you count the two or three times I passed through there when I was a brakeman on the Frisco Railroad.
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing it. You are a great photographer.

I just went to Cordell a few days ago. I loved it ! It reminded me of once thriving towns in West Virginia. Great video and thank you . Next time you are in Cordell, eat @ Bean and Ladle. They have the BEST chicken salad sandwich EVER ❤.
Thanks for the tip - I always like good food! Glad you enjoyed Cordell. Thanks for the comments.
I've been wanting to try that, but they have been closed when I've been there.

Whatever. Don’t display the stars and bars …
Great video. Plan on going through a couple of these towns this fall on my way to Black Mesa. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy Black Mesa! That area is spectacular.
You are an idiot if you think Jesus never took a hit with a glass of wine.
If you're going to Black Mesa, take a crowbar with you, you're gonna need it from the aliens that live there.
And from God's Misfits!
No, no, no. Just go your to local metal supplies shop and get some medium-heavy copper foil. Use that to make your hat. Everyone knows that copper is a much better shield for alien mind control rays than aluminum.
cannabis is a miracle plant and put here on this earth by God and gave humans a endo-cannabanoid system so we can use it. think about it.
