We were at a plateau outside Tulsa just like Gloss Mtn. back in 61. Dad was wearing his "clobber boots" for oil work and we climbed to the top where that material caps off the hill. He stomped on a bug, and the bug just flattened itself out, then popped up and walked away. That was our introduction to just how TOUGH bugs are in Oklahoma.

"TOUGH bugs" - The Eastern Redbud is the Oklahoma state tree. I've likened it to Oklahomans themselves - without strict guidance we can grow kind of scraggly and twisted, but sometimes we're quite beautiful and we sure don't give up!

They are pronounced the "Gloss Mountains" to natives of the region. However, they were originally slated as the "Glass Mountains" due to the glass-like reflection from the crystals you can find in the dirt of the "mountains."

Duncan was the headquarters of Hallibuton, a well service company. Started out with world war one army surplus trucks to cement oil and gas wells. Also several big ranches are in Duncan area. Duncan got its name from Mr. Duncan who had a general store on the Chisholm Trail. Marlow was named after Dr. Marlow and his 3 boys who were wrongfully accused of stealing cattle. The mob shootout in Grahram, TX caused the federal court to be located in Dallas, Tx. Velma to the south of Duncan supplied the USA of most of the oil used in WWII. Meridian was the location of a refinery near Duncan. Gloss mountains is because of the gypsum on top. Buffalo are free range at the Holy City set. That's why the buffalo chips. Weather ford and Woodward area us where the Anadarko Basin is and the first 18,000ft well, Tomcat #1. the result of it and Penn square bank in OKC nearly collapsed the banking system. Near Duncan is Tatums. I was told it was an Indian slave tow,but not sure. The last segregated school somewhere in the area. Its delapidated. Bray has a closed cotton gin and aloud was cotton and peanut farming. Irrigation farming. Arbuckle formation can be seen in Northwest part if Wichita mountains. Needs started as a gold mining community. Many if the small towns like milo and Ratliff city are old oil boom city's that once had 20,000 plus population. The healdton area was once covered in oil and wells. Same for Ardmore. Ardmore nearly burned and the law of no cotton and gas on the same train came about from that incident. I thought slap out got its name for a different reason. Granite has a Dolease brothers rock quarry.

Now more recently a five year ago till 10 years ago I traveled 15,000 mi around our country. But although I have a tens of thousands of pictures and a small amount of video I really hadn't thought about KZbin. I have encouraged others for younger to do what you're doing. Then they can see that we're actually more like the different. Most people want a good life and even a better one for their children as they grow. The scenery is so diverse around our country. Absolutely magnificent even a flat planes of Kansas. After making my suggestions I noticed it you had already been there because I researched some of your videos. Although it's nicer to see in person it is more comfortable to see it from my recliner on your channel. Sounds like you might be a school teacher in Wichita. I'm not asking it's not my business I just kind of deduct that from your comment about traveling to various sports events and I think you said track and places like Oklahoma and Tulsa and it really wasn't that far from wichita. I can tell you of three other KZbinrs is that a pretty active in the old car section of KZbin right there at and near Wichita. I'm not that old just right now things preclude me from further travels. Although pretty soon I will be around Wichita and some other places for business. Work is a four letter word but my family likes to eat. Thank you for making the videos and being so kind to respond to my comment. I'll share one other thing with you that you might find most interesting. You are at what I call Little Jerusalem in Oklahoma. I with my remaining family where we're driving away from the black Mesa and up to what I would call the back country of Southeast Colorado and we were exploring. We we're driving along the highway and we saw White cloud like entities with a somewhat human shape playing and running but only in the air alone highway with us for a number of minutes. And then there was a third one that appeared. And they seemed so full of joy and is rather peaceful. Terrorist had recently killed my first Barn son and my mother-in-law had died 6 weeks prior to my son's death. My mother had died barely a year prior to their deaths. So we like to think that was them visiting us telling us it was okay. Although that goes against some of my beliefs. Anyway whatever it was they were 5 to 20 ft off the ground at various times and they were 20 to 50 ft at most times away from us off the road. There were no trees for a while but they went right through the trees as they appeared. So take from that what you want regardless what these entities were they were something and not just wisp of smoke. It would be interesting to know if other people have seen these entities. We honestly can't be selfish and clean that they represented recently passed family members of Our own Eric okay taking that what you may. I grew up a country boy out in the woods work the farms and Floyd bouncing salmon and our military got a college degree train to become an army officer and it's an interesting thing while in the military. Also I've got enough hours if I had just concentrated those hours to have PhD in something. Not bragging I now live in simple life with the one exception and this one demonstrate hopefully that wasn't a half bubble off balance with that story of the entities. I wasn't the only one that's all that and I wasn't the only one to take pictures that may be thank you I'm enjoying your channel and there seems to be a lot to view and as the weather gets colder and more snow what have you I'll have more time to catch up on it.

Here's two very unsavory items that will probably get you a lot of views but you may want to make sure you're avoiding them. Anyway take my word for it it's a long story but these people aren't my kind of folks. The first one is relatively close to home for you. It's in Northwest Arkansas . It is a short trip east of eureka springs Arkansas and he is so powerful that we're his town is actually at is about 30 minutes through the back roads from where it's shown on the maps. The town is a ghost town. One reason I mention it. The world headquarters of the knights of the klu Klux Klan ran by A fella by last name of Robb. Is what the original KKK was. Back around the late seventies to early 80s there was a split. Driving through there is an Erie experience! I only found it because of a couple of good old boys who were into the old car hobbies like me and I had one on the trailer. Another one is a Confederate memorial up on the high grounds east of Paducah Kentucky parrot it has a Confederate flag as big as any RV sales lot or Perkins restaurant American flags! It is probably funded and the guy has a peg for half a leg and rides a tricycle type motorcycle. We call him peg leg. About 5 years ago we stopped in there because I'd buying 57 Chevys from farther into Kentucky It's all on the way to Kentucky lakes. I'm just curious cuz I never seen anything like that. And other folks started congregating and well to another restless story we can talk about it. But he just figure I was one of them because my long hair ZZ top type Beard and they'll pick up I was driving. The other people worked quite so sure I could tell. The other people are right we were not of their type. He pointed over to the Northeast and said brother and I just cringed, we're having a marshmallow and hot dog roast this Friday or Saturday night whatever it was and he worked me into saying yes we would attend. Need elbows me on the side and said don't forget Macy's having a white sale! Be sure to bring yours. We got out of there and when we came back West I went 150 miles out on my way I think. All we did was stop to look at a tourist attraction see what it was about and we found out! Along the same lines south of the Missouri Arkansas line is a tent revival church. Which on his own is okay. Until you start looking at the rebellions and realize they are not desegregated. The last one is the world headquarters for the delinquents just north of Springfield on Old highway 71. That's a group that gets young white boys into their group and process them so they can join what they call the Aaron brotherhood that's actually Texas syndicate. Their organization stretch from the Mexican Texas border on to the Canadian border. Some funny things have happened all up and down what is now interstate 49 and on up to mound City north of Kansas City. They're not really funny. Our group is opposed to children being harmed. If you want to know more about any of that great if not that's fine. But those are some interesting items for we got stuck while we were exploring. Clinton Iowa's another one and surrounding area. Why would anybody go to Clinton Iowa well it has a rendering plant and a very pungent unique oder. Even at the Eisenhower museum there in Kansas there was an interesting circumstance. We never went back to see the museum. But I understand during regular operating hours it's pretty nice place to visit. We've been to several ghost towns in the West especially Southwest. We went to the Navajo Nation and that was a great experience with some interesting twist. If the fellow was part of city government he would be the city manager and not the city mayor. He took a liking to me and my boys and we Sean was best described as the back side of the Navajo Nation. That place is bigger than 10 of our smaller states. A wonder they often refer to as a nation and not a reservation. There are other circumstances to why we were given the VIP treatment. Which I can share but I'm getting way long in this. Just thought if I could spare you some of the pickups give you some ideas but man you got a lot of them. We definitely live in the greatest country on Earth

That's a long way from black Mesa. Amarillo is closer as is Springfield or Boise City or Clayton .

No mention of the selenite crystals at salt flats?, you keep skimming over details in all your travels! To vague, to brush off

Too bad you did not go to the real western Oklahoma. You missed some good things. Cheyenne,Oklahoma has a battle field know as the Battle of the Washita. Small towns dotting the landscape. You also missed Erick Oklahoma home of Roger Miller. You should give true western a better look. 😊
