I love photographing the small towns of Oklahoma. This video is a list of my 10 most photogenic small towns in the Sooner State. I moved away 20-ish years ago, but when I return visit as many state parks and towns as I can.

If you have any suggestions on places I should visit, let me know in the comments.

    I grew up in Western Oklahoma, between Thomas and Putnam. I now live in Weatherford. I love a video where I have been in every town mentioned!!!
  • @chriscosby2459
    I have lived in Tulsa and OKC. I have always liked Woodward, it is a nice town. The dove hunting in NW Oklahoma was always great.
  • @Donley76
    Good job, loved this. I love Western OK. You're kinda funny too :)
  • @user-vy2ne5ly3b
    I grew up in Oklahoma and was familiar with some of these towns. My favorite place in the world is the Wichita Wildlife Reserve. Thank you very much for sharing this. It brought back a lot of happy memories.
  • @robertlewis3116
    Great video. Plan on going through a couple of these towns this fall on my way to Black Mesa. Thanks for sharing.
  • I'm staggered that you didn't include one picture of the Guthrie Valley Scottish Rite Temple in your section for Guthrie. It is one of the largest Masonic buildings on the planet...and one of the most beautiful.

    My dad grew up in Waynoka, love going there when I can which isnโ€™t often. My grandpa was a dishwasher at the Harvey house back in the day and a mechanic for Santa Fe railroad as an adult
  • Yeah you gotta go to southern Ok. Like broken bow, sulphur, Shawnee, Eufaula thereโ€™s so many and much greener
  • @waldroop11
    Need to go further southwest, to Altus, Blair, mangum, Elmer, Gould, and Hollis. Mangum has a huge rattlesnake derby every year around April. That whole area used to be texas
  • @JermStone
    Great photography! Freedom getting #1 is deserving! I didn't even expect Woodward to be on the list!
  • @chrisjwo

    My wife has family in Woodward. We went to the Woodward rodeo and had a blast. It was my first rodeo. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    You need to check out Ada in eastern oklahoma very beautiful.
  • Clicked to see if my hometown, Okeene, home of The Galvanized Palace, made it on the list. Thomas every year was our hardest opponent in football when I was a kid & played. We won each meeting. In Piedmont now. I'll check out your other vids
  • @waldroop11
    I never in my life thought Iโ€™d see AJ toma on YouTube lol. His son used to work for us.
  • @jcolumbiap
    Love the comments about Gage. Ran the marathon in the early 1980โ€™s. It was like going to another world!

    Edited, I wanted to include more: I've lived well in Oklahoma. My hometown is #1. And the place where my longest friendships wore born. My second home is #3. It's also the town from which I graduated HS. Making lifelong friends in my short time there. And then what I would consider my first adulthood home is #9. It's a place where I grew and matured a lot. It's also a place where I met some of the most special people, you know who you are. At present, I'm still living that small town Oklahoma vibe, happily here with the family. The creator mentions that #10 isn't on the main highway. But hey, it's on my main highway. Heck, I still live not far off of 64. I think it should be mentioned that Gate is known as the Gateway to the Oklahoma Panhandle. Also #9 had it's very own run of Old West shootouts back in it's early days. And while #1 is one of the smallest towns in the state it does have several things to see. Including one of the best small town rodeo's. Small town Oklahoma, IYKYK!
