I have not had the time to process the material yet, so watch this page for more to come!
I have been going to the annual Bob Wills Day celebration in Turkey, Texas, off and on for several decades, and heard there would be a parade for the 2026 celebration.
There is a route from Amarillo to Turkey that I have always loved to drive, instead of the two other popular routes. The video below gives you a quick take from my dashcam covering the 121 miles, and ends with a nice sunset.
You can always see my latest videos on YouTube Dusty Reins Stories, and Rumble American Heartlands.

Yes, I have been here for a week during the Cheyenne Frontier Days. The town is chock-full of history, and I barely scratched the surface of all the great attractions that can be explored during my first visit. After all, it was Cheyenne Frontier Days week and packed to the gills with visitors attending the Rodeos and other events going on at Frontier Park and other locations in and around town. Most of the museums and places of note were too crowded to horn my way in. I will leave those for an off-season visit. I did find some things you can check out anytime, and street entertainment is available during the summer season.

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.
The 2021 celebration kicked off with the annual parade.

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.
