The tire mounds are actually covering cattle feed. There was probably a feedlot or dairy nearby and they cover the feed with tarps to protect it from the weather and put tires over the tarps to keep them in place when the wind blows.
And the wind blows all the time, or it seems like it.

@DirtyLilHobo2 жыл бұрын
Those small towns in the Texas panhandle is exactly where I spent my time in the late sixties. Those abandoned restaurants and “Ol Tex” were viable back then. There were many places though that had been abandoned many many years earlier. Farm houses, buildings, and barns dilapidated from long ago, perhaps as a result of the Dust Bowl and economic depression of the thirties. Passing by those abandoned structures makes you wonder what dreams and goals had been destroyed by unforeseen catastrophes. Recall too that the early seventies brought about the gasoline shortages and prices of fuel going beyond a dollar per gallon. Most pumps, in those days, could not be set beyond ninety nine cents per gallon. The Interstates too had not yet been completed and many small towns suffered permanent economic damage from the traffic being diverted around or away from those towns when the Interstate was established. Railroads too had switched from steam to diesel resulting in towns being abandoned by the railroad personnel that serviced steam engines and crews. People who live in those towns today likely had lived there all their life. Likely they had farmland or other endeavors that supported their lifestyle and the changes imposed were not a threat to them as they chose to stay. Still, it’s disheartening to see abandoned homes and buildings wondering what had caused their demise. Near or around Dalhart Texas and all the land plowed up during the late twenties was the central location of the beginning of the Dust Bowl. Land that had been stabilized by the natural vegetation had been disturbed by plows and laid the resulting bare ground open to erosion. The winds easily picked up the top soil creating massive dust storms that devastated farms and towns. Those dust storms began as drought enveloped the area in 1930 and lasted ten years with no relief until 1936 up to 1940. I watched many a movie in that Perryton Tx movie theater too, during the late sixties.

The real Old Tex is located at the Cowboy Cafe on US Hwy 60 in Canyon just south of Amarillo. This Old Tex is much taller and larger than featured here in the little town the creator of this video traveled on US Hwy. 54 on his way to Stratford. The Big Tex in Canyon has been a landmark in the centra part of thel Texas Panhandle for many. The cafe may be closed but Big Tex remains. Several years ago a number of people volunteered their time to to needed to perform some restoration work to preserve this iconic statue made of metal many years ago.

And they call the Dallas area North Texas lol! Thanks so much for sharing the trip. The Texas panhandle has so much history. Grew up in Amarillo. I worked in all these little towns in the early 90s for a utility company, really enjoyed meeting the people there. You got a treat being out in the evening to see the sunset. Those panhandle sunsets can show off some beautiful colors on those calm cloudless fall nights.

My dad's uncle was sheriff in Vega during the mid '60s, Birch Campbell. We had a big family dinner when we came out from CA one summer to visit. He gave Dad this old pocket knife with flashy red, pearl and gray highlights that he'd taken from a prisoner who tried to sneak it into his jail, just before WWII. Dad carried it through the Philippines and Okinawa, and gave it to me around 1963. I carried it on me in Jr High, even though it was frowned on. Everybody carried a knife back then, but we never cut anybody. They carried expensive Case knives, and looked down on me for carrying such an antiquity, but it was carbon steel and was wicked sharp. I still have it 80 years later and it still cuts fine.

Adam, the hills of tires are actually mounds of manure from the feed lots. They cover the manure with white plastic and put tires on top to keep it from blowing off. So, they are composting the manure to sell as fertilizer and found a use for old tires. You will see (and smell) these all over western Texas and Oklahoma.
@farmersplumber2 жыл бұрын
Sorry my friend, it’s not manure. In a previous message someone said silage or high moisture corn and that is correct. After a tractor with a dozer blade has packed and shaped a crown to the silage, it’s covered with the plastic and each tire is laid on top of the plastic by hand.

@@farmersplumber Absolutely correct! Manure may be piled up but not covered until it is picked up and spread (by special trucks) onto mostly wheat and corn fields. The very large windmills are actually called wind turbines and generate electricity.

This is so great. When my husband was alive we would go off on back roads like this. Took longer to get where we were going so what❣️

I grew up in the panhandle (Amarillo), my entire life is in your vid. Some may wonder why live in this remote place . . . because it is home, and it is who I am. Great video man :)

In regards to the tire mounds, not only do the ranchers store cattle feed, but they will also use the old tires to hold the tarps down covering manure that is composting. The tires have to have holes in them to make sure they don't hold any water keeping mosquitoes away. This is a great video. I'm originally from West Texas and now live in OC, so it's nice to see the rural parts of Texas.
