Highly doubtful I will ever have a better cow moment that what happened here . Incredible
TheDailyWoo
That was funny! 🤣
Someone needs to put together a "adam the woo talking to the cows" compilation...
thebluetarp
Great idea! 👊
You totally called out the cows!
Why Do The Nations Rage?
It was a very moooooving moment.
The joke is that it’s so flat in western Oklahoma you can watch your dog run away for two weeks.
Justin Loomis Same around amarillo
EASTERN OKLAHOMA IS DIFFERENT
@@pennyharp8347Yep! Not flat in Stilwell or Tulsa .We even have some mountains at the edges of The Black mesa panhandle.There's good reason for the song "The Everlasting hills of Oklahoma"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Southwest Oklahoma is worse 😂
I live in a small Oklahoma town. This is cute seeing someone amazed at what we see everyday. ❤️. I have a cow in my yard lol
I envy you. I love small towns.
My 10 year old daughter loves animals. Especially farm animals. She would be so happy living in or near a farm.
Must be lovely😜😂😂
With the name EveningShade I would guess you live in Vian
I also live in a small Oklahoma town. Where are you located?
As a Texan, I am often in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a good neighbor to Texas.!!
Texas Son And Texas is a great neighbor to Oklahoma. 😁👋🏽
As a native texan and current Oklahoma resident, makes me feel a little better living up here.
We Okies love Texas..
@@aaronshoyt bc deep down we know we were them not so long ago.
Hello Texas and my home Oklahoma. We are all gun conservative God fearing people
A friend of mine once rode his motorcycle to Slapout and stopped and asked one of the old timers if he knew where the name came from and he replied, " Cause we are slapout in the middle of nowhere." LOL.
😂😂🤦🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I have always heard that one winter the store shipment didn't come through and they were slap out of everything by the time it arrived.
Brokendad, That is close to true but the elderly man who owned the store had such a small stock of goods that when someone asked for something he didn't have, he would tell them, I'm slap out of it. He is dead now but was a really good guy. The store was still there the last time I went thru, but that was years ago.
@@Roy-dt4xu RIP old timer🙏
In addition to a post office and fire station, you can always count on a faded soft-drink advertisement painted on a building, and a dog barking in the distance.
Dr. Pepper seems to be the sign of choice around there lol.
and a tumbling tumbleweed
One thing every small town seems to have is a faded mural depicting local scenes.
Have left Oklahoma more times then i can count just to experience the world, And Oklahoma just calls me back home. You haven't even scratch the surface of the Culture or the Sites in Oklahoma. Being A Native American i can say you haven't even begun to experience Oklahoma with a small drive through. You should visit some of the Different small towns and villages in eastern and Central Oklahoma as well. Hope you enjoyed your drive through our state. Me I'm just a Old Backwoods boy. Those Cows were just waiting for you to come by, they are the visitor greeting party.
Love it when some one says they are in the middle of nowhere when they are actually in the middle of somewhere lol
I live North of Thunderbird lake!
@@bluelady107 When i was a young man i lived 10 miles from Thunderbird and 10 miles from Noble , went to Noble schools
I figured you lived close to Thunderbird lake, it's nick name is Dirtybird too. Lol, that lake is our reddest lake on Oklahoma, I think . I love it, I used to work for the State there,and still swim with grandkids there ,now!
@@bluelady107 I remember it you get your clothes dirty the red never comes out. It's all the iron in the water, use to fish and swim in that lake. My dad use to sell minnows to the bait shops there twice a year. We had 40 acres out there in the country, fav thing was riding horses. We had a Blizzard one year covered the house. Was back in the 60's.
Were all on a ball of dirt in the middle of time. There is no somewhere.
I moved from Long Island, NY to Oklahoma last June. The best move I ever made. I actually did that same drive a few months ago and loved it. So many other beautiful places in Oklahoma as well such as the beautiful lakes. Can't imagine that people would want to leave pristine places like these to move to chaotic big cities. I rather the fresh smell of cow's dung over car exhaust any day, lol.
Smell of money! Dung..
Looking for land now in ok I'm done with long Island
I came from the twin cities in Minnesota. It's a nice change of scenery.
Leave your liberal politics in NY and dont ruin our state like y'all have other places
Enjoy your new home, please don't vote like you still live in NY though.
The way you've shot these videos with the long steady shots, the calm but engaging commentary, the intentional exclusion of any background music, the focus on scenery and history rather than people, you've really managed to capture the peace and seclusion of these locations. Such a lovely, peaceful set of videos. Sitting here in India, I didn't think I'd find videos of driving in the middle of nowhere in rural USA so engaging.
It's always funny to see people pump the hose spigots. It's not a pump, just a valve lol.
I laughed,too...not a cistern pump, but a frost-free handle!!! Gets friggin' frosty in the winter!!!
LOL...yep...I have two on my property. always waiting to see who it confuses next.
@@coffee637 they do look tike pump handles though. My uncle had one on his property that you had to pump a while . youd get a very mineral tasting water
Thanks, I didn’t know what it was either. Lol
Must be a forgotten way of life. We had those when I was a wee lad
That siren you heard probably was an actual tornado siren. Tons of places in Oklahoma test their sirens around noon on various days of the week. My town tested them on Fridays.
Saturday’s at noon here.
Wednesday in Tulsa
Catsmeow It’s weird to me that cities do it during the weekdays. Guess after 30+ years it becomes normal to hear it every Saturday.
bootsy I believe all Oklahoma towns have the noon whistles. It’s like a tradition. Some bigger towns it’s harder to hear unless your close enough.
Tuesdays in my town at noon sometimes even 11. Saturdays at noon in my old town.
I wish I were in the middle of nowhere right now. Work and life has been a little much, lately.
Your nostalgic and romantic views of Americana have offered me considerable relief.
Thank you!
I hope things have smoothed out and are going better for you this year.
@@NelsonTexas1 You are too kind.
This is a beautiful country especially when you get off the beaten path and do some exploring. Get off of the interstates and take the older highways - you will not be disappointed.
Always windy... There was a story in my family of relatives that lived in Kansas way back in the day (close enough to Oklahoma) and the father at the time, could put his hat on the side of the barn and the wind would hold it there all day until he came back from working in the field and then he picked it off the barn at the end of the day.
The cows jumping the fence might be one of the most epic moments in WOO history
Right
That was funny
Spit out my Beer Funny
The grass is always softer on the other side of the fence🌄
No doubt!
I actually went to school in Hardesty Oklahoma and now live a few miles from slapout. Small world.....
Hey, interesting. Please..hows it like. It looks so nice.
I grew up fairly close to there. I'm from Forgan originally.
I'm from Buffalo Oklahoma.
@Michael Whitely. One of my best friends went to Hardesty, and probably graduated around ‘78 or ‘79. His name is Doug Cody. I’ve known him for about 30 yrs. and he married a girl I grew up with from Shawnee,Okla. He is a good guy.
From Guymon here, live in Yukon now
I live in England and used to love taking my car,out some days and just heading off into the country. Lost my job and car, but I'm only in my 40's and it will happen again. Must be very different in such vast spaces such a America. All these empty derelict towns, villages and areas. It's as if people just gave up and left. Leaving cars and possessions.
👍🏼from England 🇬🇧
If you have the time, you should do an England version.
This actually just reflects a change in culture, transportation, work options and farming techniques post WWII.
A lot of Depression era oil boom towns. They are all over Oklahoma. Some with no people, many with only a few. Oklahoma City and Tulsa are really the only two large cities, even then, the population of each at about 500k. Only 9 cities above 50k. I live in Guthrie, what was the "Territorial Capital" before statehood. We're at around 10k with one of the largest historical districts in the nation. Most of the houses are 70 years old or more. Mine, as were many, was built in the 1930's from a kit out of the Sears Roebuck catalog. A lot of vintage automobiles here.
In the dust bowl in Oklahoma history many of these towns died and many residents made their way to California. I promise our cities are big metropolitan areas. Okc/Tulsa but we all know how to slap bulls.....
Some 40 odd years ago I was stationed west Germany. I owned a Harley Davidson at the time. I spent days off just roaming the countryside.
These are the kind of videos that got me hooked several years ago. Would love to see more cross country vlogs.
So did he do similar stuff like this before doing more videos on amusement parks?
He traveled around like this a lot more before he settled in California.
@James Masn sounds good from my phone, hope you get it going, gb
James Masn That might be due to that gentle Oklahoma breeze aka mini hurricane...😉🤔🧐🙄😂😅🤣🤷🏻♂️
Cool, my hometown of Mangum, Greer County, Oklahoma! That watertower with the "tiger popping out" was used in the opening credits to Toby Keith's movie, Beer For My Horses.
If that dude didn't eat at the Hamburger joint in Mangum, H really, really missed out.
My family all comes from that dink town... Used to make the short drag there back in the 80s.... I guarantee you know my kinfolks if your from mangum
@@jefferygambill671 I know a Suzzie Gambill Hopper. I'm from the Blair/Mangum area. Made that drag more than a few times myself in the 80's.
@@johnnygoode2341 I'm almost afraid to say who my kinfolks are out there but here goes... The two beauticians in mangum on the corner of the square Ruth and Estelle was my aunts and The big cattle farmer on the hill Henry And Lil Wilson were my aunt and uncle... The morrisis the kendrexs and the Mcdonalds are all my kinfolks... I knew a troy and Tina Farr from Blair.. Tina used to date my cousin Kent way back in the day.... And absolutely everybody within a 200 mile radius of Altus Blair or Mangum knew my dad Gordon,and my uncle Carl ray

I just want to burst into song: Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.
Where the waving wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain.
stylesandsmarts me too! Glad I’m not the only one with that song in my head.
Oof not if you live there! It’s burned into your brain
@@Robotneonunicorn I still get flashbacks from having to sing that at the top of my lungs at 8:45 EVERY SCHOOL DAY OF THE YEAR ,From kindergarten to 8th grade.Right after the pledge of allegiance.I always felt like that was WAY too early to have to scrape up that much energy!No wonder we didn't want to jump up and march to gym class and do the damned calisthenics.
Judith Sixkiller same! We did it once for an event day and then we never stopped 😭 every dang morning!!
Neon Unicorn, 👋 and the waving wheat, can sure smell sweet, when the wind comes right behind the rain.
Oops now, I’m homesick, 😧 bummer.
I love my state welcome to the great state of Oklahoma
.
I envy you being able to travel open roads like that.
he has no kids, no responsibilities except himself.
same reform.
It’s because he’s white. Trust me.
@@Berbs73 .. some truth to what you say, but without doing things change is not possible. Also police question random white guys too. Trust me.
@@tewksburydriver8624 hopefully americans come to thier senses and quit voting democrat
Adam, I love the story of the old gentleman who had a small store in NW Oklahoma. When asked for an item he didn't have he'd say, 'We're slapout!' True story.
There were two across the street from each other. One would say we are Nye out and the other would say we are Slap out when asked and didn't have it. There is a video about it on CZcams.
I've been to Slapout, lol.
Having grown up around western Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, I remember all those little towns in the 50s. They were alive and had some opportunity in them then. It is rather sad seeing them now dried up and empty.
Was military based in Altus OK, and know about / been through those places. Went to church in Mangum and got married there. Brings back lots of memories.
Fort sill, Lawton, okla. Back in the 70s Home of the field artillery, I still go back to OK to visit. I like it there alot 😄😅
I was born and raised in Altus Oklahoma it's About 8 miles from Martha in which I had cousins that went to school in Martha
Born and raised in Edmond, went to Lawton for my honeymoon 🤔🙄 and have lived in Minnesota since 84’......I need a road trip back home !
@@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123 A fellow EMHS grad. Most people under 30 wonder what the hell I'm talking about when I say I went to the "Original" since there are now 3 high schools.
Drove through Slapout and Hardesty, Oklahoma many times over the decades. Never thought that someday there would be an Internet and CZcams with me seeing these places again. 😂
A little history for ya about Slapout, Oklahoma.
Slapout was named as a tribute to the grocery store owner. When folks asked if he had a certian item in stock and he didn't have it he'd say I'm "Slapout of it"!!! Thus the name Slapout, Oklahoma!!!
True Story!!!
w.w./Sapulpa, OK
This is the true story of Slapout. I grew up in Northwest Oklahoma, and I have heard that story all of my life.
W.W. Oklahoma I’m from Gate, Ok, about 20 miles North of Slapout and that’s the same story I’ve been told.
@@ritameadows6243
There was a singer on the Voice or America Got Talent from Slapout, OK. She verified the town name in her interview. She did good on the show and she could "sang"!!! It's great living in Oklahoma, "God's Country"!!! w.w./OK
I was about to tell the origin of the name but you guys beat me to it. The old gentleman that owned the store is gone now but he was a good man and as I said, a Gentleman.
I can die so happy now that i saw those precious cows hopping over the fence. That entire scene was amazing!!!! Love.
In the late 1960's and early 1970's my father was a small time preacher who dragged our family over the many miles of Oklahoma to spend Sunday at a church in some out of the way town. I've seen most every little town in Oklahoma. Thank you for filming and sharing your adventure. It brought back some memories.
His preaching must have worked. A fellow can relax and breath in Oklahoma. A lot of other states are about stress, get there quick and the like. Oklahoma is OK.
The cows jumping over the fence made my day...lol.
Oh my goodness..... those might have been my familiy's cows.... they were definitely black angus and your were near Slapout... too cool.
That’s funny . They were rebel’s
You don't look so creepy, Krissy
Did you know there is actually a town in Oklahoma called Nowhere Oklahoma. It’s on the map.
My ex-husband spent a lot of time there 🤔
Yeah,it's @ Fort Cobb lake.
@@Brian-mp2mv 🤣 Actually played against Nowata.
Yes, but it's Nowhere found on the map!
@@nikkita369 😀😀
It was hilarious that he was trying to “pump” water with that water hydrant. Lol I have a hydrant exactly like that in my yard. It’s not a pump, you lift for a stream of water and put it down to shut it off.
Connie Sisco I have one too!
They're made to let the water drain back below ground level so the pipe won't freeze
I live in Poteau,Oklahoma
Just put one in our front yard and going to put one in the back yard next summer
This was an especially good day. The cows, freeing the tumbleweed and the old school wind farm. And a special thank you for all of the old theaters have shown on your road trip.
oklahoma doesn't have tumbleweed. s. texas san angelo del rio area has tumble weed driving out that way and ? where'd we see it out there? out in that area somewhere.
The wind was one of the reasons my parents left Oklahoma. Blows all the time. God bless it.
I love the old small towns. I can't help wondering what they were like in their heyday. Great video.
Best part of my morning! Wish I could be out doing the same
"Be free, tumbleweed! Be free!" You add a lot of character to your adventures.
I try my best . Thanks for the comment
I liked it when the tumble weed bit him with those stickers. Lol
Born and raised in Oklahoma. I LOVE the Saturday noon time sirens. Heard them every single Saturday of my life. It reminds me of life and makes me feel alive 🤣!
I just found this chanel yesterday and it brings back memories of my drive from Bakersfield Ca. to Lawton Oklahoma. The reason for the drive was to see my son graduate from Boot Camp in the Army. I got to see some of the most beautiful places. Im subscribing and Great videos, thanx for sharing.
"Free the Tumbleweed!" T shirts now available.... lol
Yes
They make fun of us!! We are the heart and soul of America!!
I love the heartland.
We actually do have a place called Nowhere in Oklahoma. It’s over by Ft. Cobb lake
Sheryl Bowman, Just knowing that makes me want to visit if I get a chance.
Thanks.
I found it lol
Sheryl Bowman my brother n law used to own that store there in now where ok back in the 80s
I think I'll retire there 😃😄😅😁😂
I want to get to the middle of it
I'm from around the area of Miami (My-Am-A), Oklahoma. Seeing your video had me wishing I was back home. Living in San Diego, and sure miss the open spaces and the wind! Thanks for your posting.
Quapaw here❤️
I’m pretty sure those were the far side cows
They just finished putting out their smokes before he came along
lol...i remember that joke...1 stays by the fence and yells "car"
The far side from birthday cards and such??
I used to always buy those for my brother before he moved to Spain.
Good one.
OOooooklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain! lol can't help to think that
My family's roots run deep in Oklahoma. My sister and numerous family members still live there. There's so much cowboy,outlaw and native American history there. The old cemeteries are very cool to visit.
Been in Oklahoma for 10 year and I’m still not used to that siren everyday Saturday at noon. 😂 I get scared every time. 😂🤦🏽♀️
The nicest people live in Oklahoma....
True, also some of the very ugliest tho too.
Where? Never saw a soul for 17 minutes 🤣 Alot of old cars and trucks that I wouldn't mind bargaining for 👍😎👍
When do you see anyone. 😆 They are just so happy to see someone. That is human
Except for Dave. He used to live in Oklahoma, but he moved to Indiana.
@Robert Gardea Thanks 👍😎👍Wish I could 🤣
Thanks for. Bringing a part of America forgotten and sadly so
The Great Plains have their positives, loved traveling throughout but never wanted to live there. The people are the best.
You are funny snd awesome. Thsnk you for showing America
Very friendly folks.
Only a portion of Oklahoma lies within the great plains. The rest is mountains and forest.
Friendliest folks I met were in small towns in Oklahoma. Struck up a conversation with a farmer in Wakita once. Loved it out there.
I can't find anything about Eram oklahoma about six miles east of boynton ok. Its now just a community but once was a town with grocery store school and all. Can you find out anything about Eram. I think a tornado destroyed it not sure.
Thank you again for another wonderful road trip. My cousin helped invent the round haybailer during a wire shortage when it was hard to get wire for the rectangular bails.
Thank you for stopping and letting me see the windmills. I am very old and I hate the new windmills.
There are no words to express the joy you brought me when you stopped at Slapout. I am 65. When I was in 3rd grade we drove from Tryon Oklahoman to Burly Idaho to visit my sister Mary Lou to see her new baby.
We did not have much money so treats were rare but they sold Slapout lollipops in Slapouut oklahoma and I was allowed to buy one.
What a fun road trip this was. I have to look for the 4 I've been on.
This one was extra special. All these years and I still remember Slapout Oklahoma.
Oklahoma Cows eat "Happy Grass" and learn to jump fences with our hunting pack mules!!!
By the way, that water pump you was pumping on... well it's not a pump handle. Push down it shuts off, and pull up to turn on. When you push down it drains the water out of line to keep it from freezing in the winter!!!
w.w./Sapulpa, OK
I was raised in Edmond, moved to Minnesota in 84, need to take a road trip back home !
Hey there! Kin over in Drumright. Miss the area.
@Walter Sampler I actually went to Martha School. I think maybe the last year it was open? Richard Day owns the School now. And the station wagon setting in front of it. I live in Edmond now.
Love the old station wagon. My family had station wagons. Fun to have sleepovers in. Awesome Dr. Pepper building. Super highways killed small towns?
Economics in general killed them.
Mark Nerren When oil went bust in Oklahoma a lot of small towns died.
I recently had 5 strokes. This has sparked the desire to travel our country. This is an awesome series and great idea, to see some forgotten areas of the U.S.A. God Bless You...
5 strokes - I hope you are doing well now.
As kids my cousin and I would giggle forever over the two small towns located off I40. One being called Nowata and the other Lotawata!
Lotawatah is right at Eufaula lake and that is for sure a lotawatah
Nowata is no where near I40. Nowata is in northeastern Oklahoma off of highway 60.
@@rebekahnewman9419 I have no idea what I was thinking that day! 🤣 thanks for the correction!
Where the winds go sweeping down the plains indeed!
I played a couple gigs at the Martha town hall! Swingin' crowd.. Swingin' crowd :)
Oklahoma's favorite son, Will Rogers, famously said that when the Okies fled to California during the 1930's it raised the average IQ of both states.
Mr. Rogers was one wise dude! 😁👍
Lmao
He had some good en's ♡
Means Oklahoma people were way more intelligent compared to Californians?
@@EvilSapphireR I'm sure that Rogers was implying that the Okies were more intelligent than the Californian. I rather doubt that Oklahomans today are any smarter than Californians. On one hand I see a lot of really dumb policies in California but that is more because of political bias than lack of brains. And California has Silicon Valley, and a huge aircraft industry.
The "noon whistle" lol. That was them testing the tornado siren.
I guess they test it at noon.
Every Wednesday
Some towns actually do blow the whistle every day at noon.
Oklahoman here, sometimes they use the storm sirens to call the firefighters to the station also. But I would bet since it was right at noon it was just a test weekly or monthly.
I grew up in the Oklahoma Panhandle. We had a noon whistle each day. The fire whistle was 3 or so whistles back to back. The storm whistle was blown continuously during tornadoes. They then blew an all clear after the storm had passed.
The cows were like “ah man, we got seen! Time to go back in 😒” 🐄 🐄 ...that’s so funny 😆
Bjorne McComb They wanted to see if the grass was greener on the other side of the fence!
Bonnie my thoughts too but they soon figured out it's not.
My grandma in Dewey county, Okla had a cow that would jump the pipe cattle guards to get out and graze
As we travel the by ways of roads almost forgotten, I have the deepest respect for all those who work the land and raise the animals. It's a life of hard work. You are all greatly appreciated!
It's sad seeing the small communities fade away I went to Oklahoma with my sona couple years ago for Thanksgiving and we went through Western and central New Mexico the back way through the small communities and stuff like you were doing there in Oklahoma and like I say it's sad to see these communities fading away at one time believe it or not this was the strength of country because of the agriculture and stuff but now all these towns are fading away and I think we're losing something of our greatness of our countryit's not the big cities sometimes that make our country great is the small communities with people that know what it's like to work hard
Well said..
A period in your remarks would be nice Wayne.
Absolutely!
It’s so windy in Oklahoma that the turtles roll like tumbleweeds.
Move to wyoming if you really want wind. Lived in both.
You know why it's windy in Oklahoma.... Cos kansas sux and Texas blows
There's a road, in Oklahoma
Straighter than a preacher
Longer than a memory
And it goes, forever onward
Been a good teacher
For a lot of country boys like me

Those cows jumping the fence so cute lol 😂 these videos make my mornings I swear !!!!! 💓
The 2 cows going back over the fence was the best🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm a Tulsa native. Thank you for making this awesome video of my home state!
Hi Adam I remember using pay phones all the time, back in the 90's when I was in 20's the cell phone-smart phone changed everything. Great video.
I love the open plains, kinda like being in the middle of the ocean without water
I love my state!! I'm from Idabel Oklahoma... Please don't judge me for those who have been there 🤦.. I'm one of the good guys!!
Those cows went back over the fence and I just cracked up !! 😂😂😂 HAHAHA...!! Adam said , I won't tell anyone . Your secret safe with me . That's was so funny...!!
It's interesting how different Western Oklahoma is from Eastern Oklahoma. It's a completely different universe. I'm find of both having worked all over rural Western Oklahoma and being from far Eastern part of the state.
Thanks for showcasing the land that time forgot.
My granddad use to deliver groceries and such to a lot of these small towns back in the early sixties. Little mom and pop stores. He knew where these little out of the way places were.
I was born in Tucumcari New Mexico. But moved back to Oklahoma when I was three years old. Been here in Northeastern Oklahoma ever since. Love it.❤️ Yes the wind was blowing pretty hard today and it's Jan. 5 2022. It's so cold. I don't like winter at all.
American pickers toured the doctor pepper plant last season.
The Dr. Pepper plant Mike and Frank picked was in Dublin Texas. It is the oldest Dr. Pepper bottling plant in the USA. It was not the one in Oklahoma.
Never thought I would see Willow, OK in a CZcams video. Used to have friends living there until they moved to Amarillo.
You wanna see an old ghost town, go to Picher/Cardin Oklahoma, it’s an old lead mining town, many tall chat piles. The towns people were bought out to leave due to the lead in the water and ground. Then, got hit by a tornado.
I am not far
Kim strukel how far from Picher?
@@JesusSaves7012 Commerce? Quapaw? I drove through there just as an alternate route on my way up to Pittsburg one day, and damn if that area wasn't a ready-made set for a horror movie.
Loved seeing these images in OK.. my grandparents lived in Martha and Mangum some 40 years ago. Brought back memories!
I'm gonna be sad when this series is over..
You can see everything, and nothing all at the same time!
You truly capture the texture of Americana. The sounds, the feel, with just the right amount of humor and commentary.
I lived in the Tulsa area back in the 1980s and had a booming good time. A very wholesome atmosphere there. The wind really does come sweeping down the plains while the presence of god is felt everywhere. I visited the pan handle for a week back in the 90s... a totally different atmosphere there as it was slap out in the middle of no where. Lonely even. Thanks for showing this Woo... I appreciate the memories.
Hi Adam! Thank you for such a great series. Off the beaten path seems the way to go. This stuff is therapeutic. Causes one to slow down and take a gander. Thanks again. Lovin it!!
I'm always happy to see you cover towns in my home state!
RhettyforFun I am going to send you the book about Billy the Kid. You love the west and I hope this book helps you understand him better. I ll send it tomorrow.
@@nadiazahroon6573 Thank you Nadia! I've done his grave or where they think it is in NM as well as where some think he is in TX but I have more to do on his story. I want to go into Lincoln County, NM and cover more. That might help out.
RhettyforFun maybe we will one day know where he is buried.
@@nadiazahroon6573 I don't think we ever will. The graves in the Ft. Sumner, NM were all washed out. Some bones were recovered but they just sort of gather some up and put some here an there. It is really unknown where his mother is buried as well. So there can't even be a DNA test on Brushy Bill who is buried in Texas and claimed to be him.
I got a friend and she lives in oklahoma now i understand her better.
Would you rather live in Detroit? This looks like
Paradise to me.
I really enjoy watching this journey through Americana.
Go visit the Little Sahara in Oklahoma! It’s not too far out of the way!
During the rattlesnake hunt perhaps?
Aaaaaand there is a UFO buried in a sand dune up there somewhere. Just watch out for the green lightening.
I lived in Chattanooga, OK southwest of Lawton. That was my favorite place I’ve ever lived. I miss Oklahoma so much
I would not even try to do what you did. All alone through these empty areas. You have more guts than me! Very nicely done.
Hey Adam! Thanks,once again,for getting my day off to a great start. Be safe and travel on my friend, travel on indeed!
Rather live there than California
You and 2 hundred other people lol 😝 while millions live in California. You couldn’t afford to Live in California. Your poor that’s why your living where you are with the rest of the poor people

I've lived major cities and HATED it ...And now, I've found where I never want to leave .....
Yeah , I may have to drive 40 - 90 miles one way to the grocery or work or the doctors, though at the end of the day , the thing that matters most to me is , having peace of mind ...
You're lucky
Okie born and bred and moved to small town of Corn. Originally settled by Russian born Germans back in 1903 and still a great place to live.

You actually missed “Nowhere, Oklahoma”! It’s in Caddo County near Fort Cobb reservoir. I live about 10 miles from there in Binger, Oklahoma (hometown of Johnny Bench). I enjoyed the fun video.
My grandparents lived in Binger for quite a few years, beautiful country out that way! I haven't been there in years though, they got to an age where they needed to be closer to their doctors in the city so they moved away, but I do want to go back at least to drive through it again some day soon :)
My tribes headquarters are there. Caddo
I grew up in Fort Cobb and been to Nowhere hundreds of times. Got it's name from the lady that originally owned the store when people asked where they were and she told them nowhere. There was no name at the time. Just a store close to the lake.
My grandpa grew up in Binger, granny was born in Lookeba. I’ve visited the area a few times. The graveyard in Binger is full of relatives.
Caddo has the most tornadoes of any OK county according to most weather stats. I happened to look it up the other day.
All these Sleepy towns you are traveling through. I find your Videos in this series fascinating. Thank you very much Adam for shooting and sharing them with us.
Those cows were not sheep, they rebelled against the herd!.
Dustbowl devastated this region. It’s good to see life is still thriving there. Population eight beats population zero every time. And those cattle are looking pretty darn healthy too!
The cows on the wrong side of the fence 13:29 then getting busted and crossing back over the fence and then back into the field was Epic. :) Peace
