Every year I take a week and go out on the plains on a solo trip. I’m focused on storm chasing for much of it, but I find just as much beauty in what you depicted here as I do when I see an impressive storm. This is a wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing.
I'm an avid backpacker/road tripper favoring the roads less traveled. I often wonder what the history/backstory is of the abandoned farm houses. It always saddens me somewhat to know that someone worked so hard to build something and then due to events foreseen and unforeseen making the choice to walk away. I've found many family cemeteries on these plots of land, overgrown and those in rest now forgotten.
This is a wonderful work that highlights an amazing but forgotten part of our country. I'd love to visit the Great Plains one day. Please note that the internment camps were not the first time in US history that fear became stronger than justice. Much of the early state legislation around the inhumane treatment of enslaved Africans and their descendants was directly rooted in fear that a minority of white colonialists could or would be violently overtaken by the growing numbers of enslaved africans being held captive in the colonies. This was hundreds of years prior to the atrocity of the internment camps. Since this documentary seems to rely on historical accuracy, I'd ask that you please make that historical correction.
What a beautiful documentary! I drove from Amarillo to Colorado and was blown away by the sheer scale of plains. l wanted to know more about these majestic landscapes. Thank you for all your efforts!
The interment of the Japanese was a horrifying chapter in our history. I've been to one of the camps, in Idaho. Most of them never got their property back. People went in and stripped their homes, after they were put in internment, sold the property illegally to other families, etc. And some of the soldiers coming from those camps into the European theater were some of the most highly decorated in the European theater.
@@KLRJUNE And yet, there's a difference between holding people for other nations, and arresting citizens without warrant, without charges, and without habeas corpus, without a trial or sentence. Simply because it's 'better' than another country does not make it constitutional or proper.
The High Plains actually have some beautiful places. In the south you have beautiful places like the Palo Duro Canyon and the Capulin Volcano National Monument. In the Northern High Plains you have amazing areas of badlands like Toadstool State Park in Nebraska, Badlands National Park, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and Makoshika State Park in Montana. All those locations are definitely worth going to if you find yourself in those areas of the country.
I've got to say gentlemen this is really good honestly A couple of things I totally understand remoteness ( population you ) it makes us aware beautiful tranquility can be I get the same feeling when I'm out on the Moors (UK) om my bike Dead streight road for miles just telegraph poles reminded me of Dire straits Telegraph road As I said this is really good
Im already drawn into it. How are your chances to survive crossing it on foot? I find only walking really makes you experience it full life. Maybe rinding does, too. Much love from 🇩🇪
If anyone attacks our country, it's fair to round up the people from that country as they may be sympathetic to their Home countries cause. I would give them the option to go home if they didn't want to be quarantined
What if this was their country they just look different? I saw person that does not look like an Anglo-Saxon being asked a question, was he an American and he did he feel like an American. He said, I am an American and I feel like an American. I have tractors and lawn mowers.... this person had assimilated! This country was wrong
In World War One President Wilson imprisoned without trial 35,000 German-Americans and 15,000 of Italian decent. FDR during WW2 placed 140,000 Americans born in America of Japanese decent and also again a total of about 40,000 of German and Italian decent in jail. The interesting thing was in Hawaii they Only rounded up about 2,000 but let them go after a month except for a dozen that were brought to US Prisons NOT intermittent Camps. In both cases the USSC allowed it to continue and only ruled it to be Beyond US Law years after in the mid 20s and 50s. The FBI knew who the spies for Japan we're and followed them for months then after Pearl Harbor let them sail away..... They did not want the Japanese to know that we were reading their secret codes.
That's a flawed generalization. Just because someone is from a specific country doesn't mean they agree with their country's actions. To destroy the lives of a portion of your citizens based on unempirical fear-mongering is not only unfair but also ridiculous. Just because Russia is invading Ukraine, doesn't mean American Russians agree with it. Hell, Russian Russians don't even agree with it.
That's how the nazis started their terror. bit suss if you ask me . The natives should round up all the white folks then at that rate based on your non logic. We are all on this planet together
So beautiful and heart-moving video. Many thks !

I love this documentary. The Great Plains is such a subtle place. Great
this is great. i love this region. so subtle and most people don't notice.

Amazing! USA is so vast.
I use to be a long haul truck driver. It was fun.
But boring
What you find, in such quiet places, is the intimation of your authentic self. The more you linger, the more of that truth you uncover.
what a fantastic outlook you guys portrait , wonderful documentary , thankyou .
Great piece. Thank You.
Amazing vid gentleman.
Much respect for the way you do things-
Looking forward to watching more of your stuff.
I live in Borger Texas in the Texas Panhandle. I LOVE the GREAT PLAINS and I'll never leave.
This is such an awesome documentary. Thank you so much for taking the time to do an are with so little attention, yet so much history.
I live in Las Animas Eastern Colorado
I love this video, did a wonderful job.
Great film. Makes me want to run to my Subaru and go !!!! I also liked the music !
This was once home of great nations!
Thanks for sharing. Loved your vlogs

They were interred, they were alive.
300,000 innocent Chinese in the r@pe of Nankin by the Japanese. War crimes of torture. Henious
It was terrible to be sure. We often forget that German and Italian Americans were also imprisoned.

The badlands in South Dakota are awesome
Is this the dustbowl that starts events in "The Grapes of Wrath"?
Asking from Germany.
Correct
I think the tracks being six miles off the road is a great filter.
It was heart breaking to see the Japanese internment camps, it brought tears to my eyes. Such a good people wrongfully treated.
I've got to say gentlemen this is really good honestly

Dead streight road for miles just telegraph poles reminded me of
Dire straits Telegraph road
As I said this is really good
what month was this filmed ? just curious
Thank you so much. An invalided Australian can now explore the world from home.√√√
