Did you grow up in Oklahoma?

Well, I am very familiar with much of that country that I guess you could define generally as the southern plains that is centered at Oklahoma City. The little place in the clip is a great place to visit if your ever in Guthrie. It is near where all that Silkwood stuff happened and there is some incredibly picturesque sage land to the west if you follow the Cimarron (I have seen some mighty fine sunsets on the Purple Sage near a town called Woodward where there is/was? a really good Enchilada place (cheese Enchiladas with a good chili gravy and loads of Iced tea) right next to a Braums (Chocolate Almond Malts). To the southwest of there is the land of Roman Nose ultimately leading to Weatherford and Elk City where Jimmy Webb came from. North of there is the Washita River near Cheyenne where Custer first entered an Indian camp with orders to destroy. North and West of that spot is a desolate land where Jedidiah Smith disappeared and Coronado's northern "explorations" reached their turning point. Coming back east is Dodge City, cattle town and buffalo genocide capital of the world. Moving further east is Medicine Lodge where in 1867 the government gave Oklahoma to the Indians for as long as the water flows and the grass is green (Custer killed those Indians on the Washita in 1868).Winfield Kansas is near there where the Flatpicking championships are held (see clip). Moving southeast from there is Pawnee land where Pawnee Bill organized the worlds second largest "wild west show". You'll come to the Cimarron again near Stillwater where there was once a town called Ingalls. That area is famous for the Doolin Dalton bunch the Eagles like to sing about. I done some introspective travelin' in that part of the land.

Clip from Winfield. The first place I ever saw Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers.

Point of Rocks is an interesting place in the Middle of Nowhere near the Sante Fe Trail cut off. It was the site of the opening scenes (in fiction not literally) of that famous John Wayne / Montgomery Cliff movie Red River where the pioneers get attacked by Indians leaving young Monty an orphan. Up on top of that Point of Rocks, Coronado conquistadors left some graffiti. I spent a lot of time walking along the river there (it is really just a river of sand there most of the time. Dry. White. Sand.
