One thing every small town seems to have is a faded mural depicting local scenes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

OOooooklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain! lol can't help to think that

I love the open plains, kinda like being in the middle of the ocean without water

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.

You can see everything, and nothing all at the same time!

I played a couple gigs at the Martha town hall! Swingin' crowd.. Swingin' crowd :)

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

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.

Never thought I would see Willow, OK in a KZread video. Used to have friends living there until they moved to Amarillo.

I used to think that big city dwellers were always mad. After all, they were always scowling at each other. Then I realized: they aren't scowling. They're squinting. Because their entire lives are just a few feet from their faces. Out Here, we don't have to do that.

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.

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!

your standing in ground zero Dust Bowl ca 1930s

You truly capture the texture of Americana. The sounds, the feel, with just the right amount of humor and commentary.

I lived in Chattanooga, OK southwest of Lawton. That was my favorite place I’ve ever lived. I miss Oklahoma so much

Those cows were not sheep, they rebelled against the herd!.

This is another example of the Song Little Man. Somewhere up or down the road there is a Wal Mart or Dollar General that has ran all of the small businesses out of existence. All across the country the small towns have faded into the sunset when the large chain stores came on the scene.

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.
