Red Dirt Rambler: A Melancholy Journey Through Foss, OK

Posted on August 15, 2011August 16, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

I stood in 108 degree weather reading this information for about 10-15 minutes, and saw one car drive down the Main Street/Highway during that time. I looked around for anyone…

Red Dirt Rambler: Erick, Oklahoma

Posted on August 9, 2011August 15, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

As I headed north back to the highway, I stopped at the home of Curtis Austin, The Windmill Doctor, to take a few photos. As I was shooting, he turned off the highway and into his driveway, so I waved and approached him. As we talked I was struck by the “Doctor’s” bright blue eyes contrasted with his suntanned, aging skin. They looked like turquoise set in bronze.

Red Dirt Rambler: Western Oklahoma, Ho!

Posted on August 8, 2011August 9, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

I wanted the dark ones to “win.” I wanted them to persuade their cohort to all collectively turn gray and heavy, and pour out their contents across this place. Liberally. I looked across the road and saw a tree. I imagined “he” was reaching toward the sky with the same message as I. “C’mon, clouds…give it up. Just let it go!”

Red Dirt Rambler: Eighty Years of Osage Wisdom in a Thirty Minute Encounter

Posted on May 23, 2011October 31, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

I walked into the museum and was greeted by her.  She sat at the desk, surrounded by busts of ancient Osage warriors, maps, artifacts and tribal dress displayed in glass cases.  “Do you have any questions?” she asked.  “No,” I replied.  “Not yet.”  I made my way to the corner case and began mentally walking…

Red Dirt Ramblers Trip #1 Final Stop: Wagon Creek Creamery, Helena, OK

Posted on February 4, 2011August 9, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

I pulled up, ran in to the little place, spied a group of about 8 men crammed into two booths and a couple of them sitting on stools, ran over and said: “Hello there, local group of citizens. I need your help!”

Mike led us through the grand entry, showed us the dining room and kitchen, and then up the beautiful staircase we went to the second floor level of rooms…and then on up to the third floor level!

Red Dirt Ramblers, Stop #3: The Vintage House Restaurant, Burlington, OK

Posted on January 17, 2011August 9, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

With…Victorian-style Christmas decorations, and each table listening intently to the couple singing Elvis’ “Fools Rush In,” I then concluded that particular moment was one of those types mentioned in the Bible…

Red Dirt Ramblers – Stop #1: Get To Know Kathy Moore of Anichini-Moore Ranch & Farm

Posted on January 3, 2011August 9, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

It was my surroundings, I think, that allowed me to sit for almost two hours and listen to Kathy Moore share her story. Coffee, art work, and a story teller. Who could ask for a better morning?~JATR

Red Dirt Ramblers ~ Intro, Kick-Off, and a Road Map…

Posted on January 1, 2011August 9, 2011 by Red Dirt Kelly

In the 1970s, George Salter of the Atlanta Journal began a trek that would evolve into his blip on the radar of American History. He would pick any small town in the state of Georgia, travel there and begin to ask around.
