Bandera, Texas is located northwest of San Antonio and has been named the "Cowboy Capitol of the World" by the Texas Legislature. The small community is a popular tourist destination for its cowboy history and entertainment. I am publishing videos from my short visit and adding a few photos and commentary to this page, so stay tuned for more.

Incorporated in 1887, Canadian, Texas is named for the Canadian River, which flows just north of town. Located in the high plains of the Panhandle, Canadian is located 100 miles Northeast of Amarillo, and 200 miles west of Oklahoma City. Nestled beneath towering plateaus in the center of the Canadian River Valley, Canadian serves as the county seat of Hemphill County.

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.
