The small community of Roaring Springs, Texas is located in the middle of small farms and giant cattle ranches. I have been here dozens of times since 1964 for a number of reasons, but my recent visits have been for the Motley Dickens Old Settlers Reunion. The ranch rodeos in past years have been sanctioned by the WRCA and WRRA.
The population of Motley and Dickinson Counties is so small that the two counties hold a joint reunion weekend swelling the local human count to more than ten times normal. The celebrations include the shortest community parade I have ever documented.
I plan to return for more sights and sounds I have not explored in the area yet. If you have a suggestion I would like to hear from you! Contact Us

Earth, Texas is a small community in West Texas where farming is a primary occupation. But the residents do love a good rodeo and once a year the WRCA sanctions three qualifying ranch rodeos on a Friday and Saturday including a Youth Rodeo. The rodeos are usually held on the second week in September.
The area surrounding Earth is relatively very flat which is great for farming and a parody of the Flat Earth Theory. So I decided to make a short video about it and wound up driving some Flat Earthers a reason to expose themselves in the video comments. Ha!
And something that seems hilarious to me is that YouTube thought it proper to place a context statement from Wikipedia just below the video if you watch it on YouTube and you can see a warning box on the thumbnail above. I guess they didn't get the joke either. Haha!!

I visited Pawnee, Oklahoma mainly to document the Oklahoma Steam Show which happens to be the largest show of its kind in Oklahoma. I did manage to check out a few other places in the area that I will be sharing with you in time.
I am currently posting videos from the steam show and here is an example of a crowd-favorite activity from Friday night 2022.

I traveled to Fort Sumner, New Mexico to document two WRCA qualifying rodeos that can be viewed on my WRCA Ranch Rodeo playlist. I sued some of my free time looking for Agates and Jaspers in the Pecos River in addition to Quartz crystals I used to call Pecos Valley Diamonds during my childhood days in Roswell.
Here is a sample of some of the ranch rodeo action.
I look forward to an opportunity to return and explore more stories in Fort Sumner. I did discover the Billy The Kid Museum and there is a link to a two-part video tour but I did not get a chance to explore the Busque Redondo ant other possible sites. If you have some suggestions please Contact Us!
