Fort Wallace Museum & 2021 Living History
I had the opportunity to spend four days documenting the Fort Wallace Museum in Wallace, Kansas along with three days of living history hosted by the museum during September 2021. I recorded many hours of video and more than 100 photos of the facilities and activities and will attempt to present those materials on this page and associated pages.
Life Today
The Mission statement for Dusty Reins Stories is: Documenting Today For Tomorrow's History. The Life Today playlist available below features videos recorded in many of the communities I have traveled to. The majority of these stories originate in what many say is the "Real America" where people don't live like rats in congested cities. I will attempt to give you an update every Tuesday about what I discover is happening in the places I explore for #HeritagePreservation in #RealAmerica
Bronc Riding
Bronc Riding is a popular sport in both ranch rodeos and pro-rodeos and there are now more than 100 original bronc riding videos now available on Dusty Reins Stories. I have provided the Bronc Riding playlist below and you can see the total videos continue to grow in the upper right portion of the screen. You will want to watch these events to the end because many of the best rides happen at the end due to fierce competition and all re-rides are taken at the end of each event. BroncRiding has been one of the most popular events in most rodeos for more than 150 years. The skills of horse and rider are pitted against one another for eight seconds to achieve a qualified ride where points are awarded to the performances of horse and rider to reach a total score. There are three major types of competition including Bareback, Saddle, and Ranch Broncs. This playlist on Dusty Reins Stories includes all three types. #BuckingHorses #BarebackBroncs #SaddleBroncs #RanchBroncs #BroncRiding
Spooky Stories
I have always loved stories that give me goosebumps or shivers while reading or listening to them. I think it all began when I started going on Scout camping trips to the mountains in New Mexico. Most of those stories were classic tales told in the woods around campfires and were a lot of fun. But there are also personal first-hand stories of ghosts and creepy supernatural happenings that defy logical reasoning.
For Love Of Nature
I have explored the wonders and beauty of the outdoors all my life. I have spent many hours watching animals interacting with each other in their natural habitats and learning about their behavior or just enjoying the sights and sounds which surround me. I enjoy shooting video of nature now and then and now I am sharing these moments with you!
