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.

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

Clarendon, Texas is located in the Southeastern portion of the Texas Panhandle and established on a small portion of the JA Ranch managed by Charles Goodnight. The community was started by a group of fundamentalist Methodists who wanted to separate themselves from unrighteous societies. The community quickly became known as "Saints' Roost".
Clarendon recently held its 145th Saints' Roost Independence Day Celebration 2022 with community events in and near the Donley County Courthouse Square and three evenings of ranch rodeo action hosted by the Clarendon Outdoor Entertainment Association.
