I have lived longer in the Amarillo area than anywhere else so I guess I consider it to be home. There are tons of places, events, cultures, people, and history to cover but I can only add to this page when I find the time.

Yes, I have been here for a week during the Cheyenne Frontier Days but have just started processing the videos. The town is chock full of history and I barely scratched the surface during my first visit.
The Union Pacific Railroad is a huge part of Cheyenne's history and there are two of the "Big Boy" steam locomotives in town, one actually travels and the other is on display in a city park for all to enjoy.

White Deer, Texas is a thriving community located on US 60 between Amarillo and Pampa. I came here twice to mainly document the UPRA-sanctioned rodeos held each year that drew sellout crowds.
The rodeos are held during the annual Kickback Days celebration so I returned to document the other activities that go on each year as you can watch below.

I do not have an image representing the community of Mitchell, Nebraska because I arrived just shortly before one of the 2022 PRCA Xtreme Roughstock events and then left after the rodeo. But I hope to be able to return someday to explore this part of Nebraska along the North Platte River. and the nearby Scotts Bluff National Monument. If you live in the area I would appreciate your suggestions about places and annual celebrations in the area to add to this page about the community!
You will find all the rodeo events from the Xtreme Roughstock event on my Rodeo playlist. It was a great competition and I hope you will enjoy the samples below.
I thought this was a great rodeo act! Listen to the audience's reactions.
This is the last segment of the full competition including the awards presentation at the end.
I would love to come back to Mitchell and explore the community and the people who live there. Explore with me in the #AmericanHeartlands! If you would like to offer any suggestions then pass them along here: Contact Us

I traveled to San Angelo to document one of the five largest pro rodeos in the USA, the San Angelo Rodeo & Stockshow sanctioned by PRCA.and features three weeks of rodeo events. I was there for seven days but rodeo events only on three of those so I took the opportunity to explore around some.
