The way you've shot these videos with the long steady shots, the calm but engaging commentary, the intentional exclusion of any background music, the focus on scenery and history rather than people, you've really managed to capture the peace and seclusion of these locations. Such a lovely, peaceful set of videos. Sitting here in India, I didn't think I'd find videos of driving in the middle of nowhere in rural USA so engaging.

A lot of Depression era oil boom towns. They are all over Oklahoma. Some with no people, many with only a few. Oklahoma City and Tulsa are really the only two large cities, even then, the population of each at about 500k. Only 9 cities above 50k. I live in Guthrie, what was the "Territorial Capital" before statehood. We're at around 10k with one of the largest historical districts in the nation. Most of the houses are 70 years old or more. Mine, as were many, was built in the 1930's from a kit out of the Sears Roebuck catalog. A lot of vintage automobiles here.

When I was in 3rd grade we drove from Tryon Oklahoman to Burly Idaho to visit my sister Mary Lou to see her new baby. We did not have much money so treats were rare but they sold Slapout lollipops in Slapouut oklahoma and I was allowed to buy one. What a fun road trip this was. I have to look for the 4 I've been on. This one was extra special. All these years and I still remember Slapout Oklahoma.
