Hey! 👋
Thanks for watching! Join our community HERE: bit.ly/3HC36EH
Thank YOU for everything that you do!!
Great work as always. Have you spent any time around the oil fields in South Texas? Maybe give some fresh perspective on an industry that is constantly demonized
I did. I love your series!
she is great needs her own you tube channel
You’ve been documenting Ranch/cowboy life style lately, you should be wearing cowboy hats in your videos by now LOL
“Who is Loretta Lynn” made me spit out my drink laughing. Peter is so awesome! I see him moving to rural America one day. Greetings from Arkansas!
Same here friend. Even I know who Loretta Lynn is and I'm a forty something rock n roller from dang NYC
That is the equivalent to saying who are The Beach Boys?
That was funny, who is Loretta Lynn? Google her Peter❤️ loved the video. Where do you live in USA?
Cracked me up also when the girl answered, “some old country singer”.
That was cringey and should have been cut out of the video. I get that he's a young person, but you should really know who Loretta Lynn is.
Peter you really struck gold with the personalities you found in this video! Was very enjoyable.
Peter, you have a talent for finding interesting people.
Thanks! I’ve got to thank my team for this. Kymberly my assistant found these people.
@@PeterSantenello Go Kymberly!
Loretta Lynn is not just an old country singer. She is a living legend icon of country music to this day.
yea i thought that comment was a bit off myself 🫤
A dead living legend 🤔
@@AdamLopezMusic She has just recently passed. She passed away October the 4th 2022 at the age of 90 years old. Her maiden name was Loretta Webb. And a cousin of mine. And I'm pretty sure when I made that comment. She was still alive. She was not only a living legend icon a year ago. The country music community crowned her as the queen of country music a very long time ago. But whatever point was when I watched your video and you made that comment she was not dead then.
@@cindyspiess9963 not off I actually text that comment a very long time ago I think she was still alive when I text that. Lol
My childhood friend, Paul, set the tombstone on her land outside of Nashville. She & her husband Moonie now rest there.
Fiona is the kind of city folk we love to welcome to the country
“Oh my gosh” Fiona is a gem. 🥰
Gee Willikers, look, that cow is calving.
Amazing to see a young person so enthusiastic about this lifestyle, especially considering not coming from a ranching background. Another wonderful series Peter and team.
@C G Reich, I think there are more Fionas out there than we native ranchers think. It’s great great to see!!
I think she did say she worked on a ranch in California. The only thing she hadn’t done was ride a horse.
Yes! I have always all my life wanted to go find a town like this and live and work this way but have always been afraid or have thought that the townspeople wouldn't want me there...some random young woman being from the suburbs who doesn't have experience. Maybe I'm wrong and it's just self doubt.
$
She looks so young about 24, but she seems like a veteran of the cowboy life
Coming from a farm background, I can say this young woman has picked up a lot in the two seasons (going on three) she's been in the ranching area. What I find even more interesting is a $32M school for 100 students. They must have some kind of influence to get a $24M grant for that.
THAT blew me away. When she said 32M, I thought it was a full house...but 100 students?????? They better grow and grow fast!!
@@Bellaandkelly Rural Aussie here. It's a very smart thing to build - a LOT of people, especially post-COVID, would like to move (and can move, with WFH)...but it's the schools and access to medicine that's the killer. You might be fine working remotely...but what kills people moving is lack of stuff for their kids, their health, and, yeah, their wives.
yea i thought that was rather odd myself 🤔
She sounds so proud of fucking over her taxpayers
Maybe they actually invest in their kids like we should. They use lotto money to build a play ground. That's how it's supposed to be spent.
I live in the countryside in New Zealand....I love these videos ...most city dwellers have no idea what goes on with farming but are all to keen to tell multi generation farmers what they need to do to save the environment and animal welfare...🤣 the land and animals are their assets and future....they know how to conserve and care for it....unlike politicians...💪😎🍺🇳🇿
This girl from California was a bit like "Alice in Wonderland" exploring curiously a world she did not know before. It was great meeting her virtually on your video!
I drove through a town in eastern Washington and I though I was driving through some town in Austria or Bavaria. I think it was called Leavenworth which struck me as strange and confusing as I'm sure there was a prison somewhere with the same name although it might be spelled differently ? Washington has some incredible places that resemble being on the moon, being on the prairies or driving through the mountains and the Pacific coastline. All is worth the drive and seeing especially along hwy 2 east & west.
@@rh7163Fort Leavenworth Kansas is the biggest military prison 😂
We avoided Leavenworth worth at all costs. It is a fake Bavarian concoction.
Totally packed, overpriced & commercialized. Californeeized. A super place 30 & 40 years ago. Now ? ... Huh-uh
It is however the gateway to many many great trails, hikes & Climbs nearby. And some nice local art in the park on Summer Sundays.
Wait,, back up the truck, "old country singer?" .. The QUEEN of country music Ms Loretta Lynn!
She was a Mrs., not a miz.
As Colorado resident, this is awesome that you're showcasing our farming and ranching communities out east.
she needs her own youtube channel… she’s awesome!
She def does! She’s an inspiration!
She is a talker and 100 miles an hr at that.
I drove through Kit Carson quite a lot when I was driving trucks…287 is a busy highway. Always amazed me! Majority of people just drive through and never give a thought to the people who live in all these small towns in America! Thank you for showing us all these different parts of America! I truly feel like it’s special and important to know!
Thanks Mitchy!
I would bet most of the people in those small towns are happy the majority of people on the highway never give a thought to them and just keep on driving.
I love it - regards from Malta
AMEN !! Love Peter's videos !! So much to learn about places I'll probably never visit in real life !!
yes me too
Eastern Colorado and western Kansas is truly no man's land. You are lucky to pick up a radio station
"Pizza and Target!" Fiona is adorable!
Ahhh.. such a peaceful and joyous life in a town of 250 people. The apartment where I live, I have 250 people on my floor.
Ha!,ha!you are funny
The golden retriever energy vibes while talking to Fiona are just the best
Hahahaha! That's it...exactly.
Hi Peter, I really love these videos of the small towns because of the post office. I’m a postal worker and it reinforces how essential the service is despite all the shit we get. These small towns are really dependent on thr service.
My dad's dad (my grandpa) was a mail carrier for years on horse back and my dad's brother he was a mail carrier for several years when he was young and then my dad was a mail carrier for 35 years, starting out for numerous years on horse back (his dad's mail route) up until he had to go off to World War 2 . Then several years after that my dad came home from the war, he decided to go back delivering mail again and he got a route that included about half of his dad's old mail route territory and the other half was new territory . And then when I graduated from high school in 1981 I took over my dad's route for about 3 and 1/2 years while I was going to vocational school at night . The mail route that my grandpa had years ago, part of it was in Lawrence County, Kentucky and the rest of it was in Johnson County, Kentucky about half in Lawrence and the other half in Johnson. And my dad's route in later years most of it was in Johnson County, Kentucky and a small section of it was in Lawrence County, Kentucky . So my family knew everybody for miles around and everybody knew my family for years .
I really am enjoying this Rural America series, I'm interested in visiting Rural America because my family abroad grew up rural too, I also want to visit Colorado someday to go there and take a break from the humidity. Greetings from Florida!
Love the videos.
We moved to a small town in northern Michigan from Florida. We were always the people from Florida.
The neighbor said thank god new blood within 2 min of meeting us.
As someone who grew up in the logging/ranching industries I think it is beyond great for the general populace that are ignorant (not in a bad way) to how these people in these industries operate. It’s good for them to understand that these are genuinely good people, good stewards of their land/the woods and animals.
I’d much prefer to be ignorant and down to earth than all-knowledgeable and full of myself.
Yes! Connection to these things makes all the difference.
They are NOT good stewards to animals. They are killing them!!! All use is abuse. Not necessary to use animals.
I grew up in a tiny town like this, in Texas. Had 20 people in my high school graduating class.
Well @YeOldOgre, I did too but even back then plenty of bars unlike Kit Carson. This Texan respects that.
I did too and got the hell out of their and now live in the great state of California left the shity state of texas...nice
@@cliftonbowers6376 good riddance
Normal class size here in Europe.
Clifton Texas here
My cousins grew up in Kit Carson. The oldest boy used to break into the liquor store regularly. Uncle sold his ranch east of town when he got too old to fight the winter weather alone. His wife taught school, had to move to town for the winters because of the danger of traveling a few miles during blizzard season.
Peter, I just came across your channel and have begun taking the journey one episode at a time (that's not true, it's usually 3-5 per day). Your approach to each subject and the way you incorporate the people in it is amazing. You are very respectful and ask the right questions, then sit back and let them speak. Very refreshing in these times. Thank you for your insight to real life.
yes i agree
These truly are time capsules of communities. Thanks for checking this out!
cool
loving this series. i have so much respect and admiration for the farming/ranching community. watching the news makes you feel like the world is ending. then you see such amazing people putting family, community, and the pride of hard work above political/social differences. its a great reminder that life isn't what is portrayed on t.v., that real people are out there thanklessly working hard to feed the country. thank you to all the farmers and ranchers, we see and appreciate all that you do.
I surely could'nt of said it better. IF I were a meateater, this is a lifestyle I'd want my cow to have experienced.
Great comment. I’m from Canada. When our truckers/people were protesting it was the same thing. We were not portrayed properly on the news. We literally had some clown show up and the news channel “who happened to catch his ridiculous/drunken behaviour” broad cast it to masses.
Not nice when 98% is doin one thing and they focus on 2% that they planted
WTH! REALLY?!?!? I would never wish that one of my animals be killed to "feed" people. @@fairygodmomma2313
Poor mama dog having puppies and then that woman selling them. Animal breeders are the worst. All use is abuse.
That woman who moved out to Kit Carson from Silicon Valley seems pretty young. Good for her for following her heart and dreams. I hope everything goes how she wants. I followed my dreams, but it took me a long time to finally have the guts to do it.
I love that woman she knows her history
Old cowboy legend has it that you can still hear that rancher talk to this day..."oh gosh..." She was something. It was interesting how many Grant's and money that small town gets.
That was great! Made my day to see a young lady stepping into a tough business and embracing every bit of it. She’s awesome!
I work in a local grocery chain. Our stores take pride in learning all that we can about where our food comes from. We also enjoy teaching our customers about the products in our store. It's a little bit more expensive, but the quality is top-notch.
Animals are not food.
Went thru Kit Carson a few years ago on motorcycles not knowing a thing about the town. So glad they had a gas pump that took credit cards, it was locked up tight on a Sunday. Nice looking town though
I am seriously LOVING these interviews and documentary on rural America! Makes me smile so much! This is what America is! City life is cool, but just soooo different than the independent thinkers and workers in rural America!
1.35am here in Oz and found myself with a smile from the very start. Another winner Peter. In Australia, we'd call Fiona "Avachat". She is lovely but exhausting. LOL
I used to live at 30 Gonzales Street in McGregor on the outskirts of Brisbane, not far from Mount Gravatt Campus of Griffith University, next to Robertson and the ANZ arena along with the Garden city Mall. I had a local Aussie neighbor, and she was definitely an “Avachat” lol 😂
But my God was she nice, kind, and unbelievably friendly during my 4 year stay as an international student there. I still vividly remember her crying when I was flying back home for good.
I hope she’s doing well. A beautiful human being, and a wonderful manifestation of all that is good in Australia I’d say.
@@khalidalali186 I live at Oxley, bout 20 minutes away.
Nice suburb. Been there a couple of times between September 2006 and June 2010. I think it was terribly hit by the Queensland floods by the end of 2010 and early 2011 ,right?
To think I escaped cyclone 🌀 Tasha by mere months was a miracle in itself.
I work and stay in a suburban area. But grew up and still own a ranch in rural CA which is my home. One thing one notices is the pickups. For these individuals they are functioning utility vehicles, tough, beaten and used for a purpose. Now the car makers have manipulated people into wanting the look of a rugged truck and people buy endless crap to look rugged. A rancher is a rancher who drives a ranch truck. No posing. Wonderful video!
I lived in Kit Carson, Colorado when I was 5 or 6 years old. My dad worked road construction. I also lived in Kiowa, Cheyenne Wells, I am 68 years old so this brings back memories.
We lived all over Colorado & Wyoming. Oh wow same school colors. I think I lived in every rat hole in that state. Moved to California in 1972. Where I've been ever since. Do I miss Colo? No.
That bird that is singing in the background is my favorite bird song.I Literally had to call my cousin and ask what bird it was so I could here that sound again. Lark Bunting.
That assumption/ town gossip thing is the same all over Colorado. Always has been there. Ever since I can remember that's why I won't move back to Colorado. But I do have good memories.
this would be a great amazon route, I'm currently delivering in Brooklyn 🤣
I already live in a little gold mining town of less then 300 people. Wouldn’t change it for anything else. You can still pan for gold in the Merced river by my house.
Sounds like snelling ca ❤
The communities of rural America have a completely different experience, feel and community than more packed urban cities. I love being in and
experiencing them whenever I get out of town and go hunting with my Dad and brothers.
Major cities don't represent Americans. They're a boring, lifeless cult who worships the government as gods.
Who's Loretta Lynn is like asking who Johnny Cash is the lady with the cowboy hat is just a ball of Fire great video thank you I 100% absolutely love the country
I live about 2 1/2 hours away from Kit Carson and would love to live there compared to the city I live in now. The only problem is lack of jobs, and that's what makes small towns so hard to get into. Someone needs to open a liquor store again, keep it a small family business and it would probably make it. I love small town's and we are fortunate to have a lot of them out East in Colorado.
I'd open up a small Irish pub if i lived there.
If you’re ok with running the business all by yourself then you got it. Very hard to find consistent workers out here so you won’t be taking many vacations
I grew up in Lamar, can’t believe Pete did a vid on Kit Carson.
hopefully that new bbq restaurant will be serving beer, so Fiona can grab some great bbq and a beer after work.
I've always lived in one of those small towns out east and love it!
Good job presenting all these ranches and ranchers, so those that are a bit removed and uneducated on where their food comes from can see the different ways. This is IMO ine of the most
important subjects. We all have to eat. It would be worth while to try and connect with Alderspring Ranch in May, Idaho. They are really doing quality ranching with top notch husbandry of animals and land stewardship. You would have a few videos worth.
Reality is 90
Percent of our meat comes from feed lots, not ranches, with cows in horrible conditions. This is a fantasy
Man you’re doing such an amazing job giving these many rural towns so much visualization. So nice people! Hospitable. So quite and healthy environment.
I'm from a town about an hour and a half northwest of there. You've made me miss home.
Awesome episode! Great people! I love my country! So much diversity! It's amazing!
I agree
Yeah but they need to quit selling land and buildings to Russia and China our enemies selling out AMERICA for the almighty dollar Americans always selling out AMERICA like your president Sleepy Joe Biden he sold out AMERICA for generational wealth for his family I'd rather be poor than sell out my country there should be a law to not sell land or property to any communist country who is a threat to AMERICA
Peter, I can't express enough how much I enjoy your videos. I get excited every time a new video drops, I never want them to end. Don't change a thing... except maybe making longer videos 😀
Peter also learned who Loretta Lynn is. 🙂She is a retired country music singer/song writer. This past April, she turned 90 yrs old. Fun fact: When she turned 89, she released her 50th studio album. Loretta lives on her ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. Crystal Gayle, the "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue" singer, is her 71 yo sister.
MAD RESPECT FOR THESE WOMEN.
I’m super impressed with what they did with 32 million. Can’t do that with any American inner cities, it’d be hundreds of millions and folks would lose track of at least 2/3rds of the money
Yeah, in my east coast suburbia we approved a bond to open a new tech school (multi millions) and it evaporated during COVID without much explanation (even though the county received 76 million in stimulus money) and we have over a 500 million dollar school budget. 2 years into the pandemic and teachers were still wanting to close schools because not enough PPE. Schools are totally unaccountable for funds, it's easier to control in small towns like this, the Mayor is out and about and knows everyone face to face, same for the school board.
@@ashdav9980 it’s insanity. That’s partly why you don’t see as many games being played in small towns by and large. The people have learned that the books have to get balanced at some point. A lie never goes on forever
Yes by the time local governments, unions, others get theirs skimmed off, buildings take forever and cost too much
We’re in a semi rural area and our school district can’t build an elementary school for that price. But then again the construction companies run the school districts.
@@jasonlovell3934 when developers run things, they tend to run them into the ground. It’s the private businesses and land owners that create beautiful things by and large
She's adorbs! I live in the burbs of Atl and my neighbors hold up in their hidieholes. Reminds me of my youth visiting fam Every weekend in a small cotton mill town. Not living there everybody knew who I was. Had fam all over that little town and I could roam where I wanted. Everybody talked to me. Everybody watched out for me. You hit home with this one Peter. Small town America.
Love her enthusiasm!
Love all of our farmers and ranchers. Praying that God will bless and keep each and everyone of them 🙏 ❤
My husband and I would in a heartbeat..... Ughhh, I’ve been wanting this since I was a little girl, I WILL live on a farm before I die! I loved these videos
Great work Peter, please don't stop showing what Made us what we are in the USA... Thank you
I have lived in very small rural Colorado mountain towns where people have first names no one has a last name, no one locks there doors, or trucks,more than once I have come home very late in winter and found the cabin warm, the dishes done and the wood box full, a note on the kitchen table thanking me for my hospitality! They were stuck out on the frozen lake or elsewhere .Small towns are great!!
That lady was a *fountain of nice!* 😃
I guess she’d fit in just about anywhere she chose to stay.
Great stuff.
Escaping the city is the best thing you can do for your sanity.
*Yes and if you people do please stop voting for democrats.* Sorry to bring it up but its plaguing our country. People don't do their research before voting and that's why its so bad in the cities. They encourage and protect the criminals while milking our tax dollars into their pockets. That does not mean to blindly vote for any republican..
Fiona, you've got the best energy!
What a delight
I am in LUV with Fiona! What an energy she has, Thank You Pete for the vid!
I grew up in backwater Canada in the 70's. Us kids were transported around all the time in the back of pick up trucks. And we drank from hose pipes. I love towns like this. Great video as ever Peter.
Interesting slice of small town rural life. Would be interesting to hear from a local young person. I imagine most kids growing up in a town like this would want to get out as soon as possible, not because they don't like the town or people, but just to see the world and go to a place where everyone doesn't know everything about them.
I think you would be surprised. We are in a town of 700 in Colorado. A lot of kids go to college and then come back. These communities are unlike any other. We have a neighbor that is an absolute and utter gem and would really do anything for anyone and are always there for each other.
Bro I love the fact you go to small towns and getting in to ranching. I grow up with all of this and documenting all of this... the small towns in America is a dieing breed... keep it up!!!
Them Ranchers are some hard workers! Got a lot of respect for what they do!
“Are you the lesbian from California?”
That took me out hahaha. I have been binging ALL videos (newest to oldest) last 2 weeks. What great content, please keep them coming!
My brother and I often road in the back of my dad’s pickup as kids. I’m glad you’re showing towns like this!
We used to ride in the back of my dad's pickup truck all the time when I was a kid. These days they want to take you to jail for it.
I love these videos. I find myself being completely fascinated each episode.
That lady has so much energy, it's amazing!
You are your own TV series. This is awesome. Unfiltered, what you see is what it is. Love it
How amazing and adorable that you were able to show us part of the birthing of calves. You've had some wonderful hosts! Thanks to them for showing us a glimpse of their lives!
👋🏼 Australian living in Japan. I’m really enjoying these current videos. Keep up the great work.
Thanks This is So Beautifull I would Love to Live here. Country Small Town Wow 34 million school In a small town is very rare. What a Blessing from God.
Thank you Peter for bringing so many slices of culture to those of use who didn't make the time or have the opportunity to experience them for ourselves. You are a gifted journalist and a positive ambassador for the rest of us!
This makes me smile! Easiest summary ever. Reminds me that life is good, and this country’s full of good people. Thank you all!
Poor mama dog having puppies and then that woman selling them. Animal breeders are the worst. All use is abuse.
@@carolbarrett6492 All use is not abuse. How do you think this nation got started? If it weren't for early American pioneers bringing bred stock animals into the American frontier (including California when it was still wild and unsettled) to raise crops (among other things) our nation would not have prospered and become the democracy it is today. Also, many people want pure bred dogs because such dogs retain all the good qualities that make them the best guardians of their hearth and home or for certain occupations such as law enforcement. As a law enforcement officer I can tell you that many K-9 units have pure bred dogs such as German Shepherds because they make the best officers (and yes, K-9 dogs are considered law enforcement officers). I am also an Army veteran and the K-9 units that I met in the military often (although not always) use pure bred dogs. There is a place for dog breeders in our culture and they form a necessary part of our society. As long as she is conforming to breeding standards and all state and local regulations, then there isn't a problem. I prefer to give her the benefit of the doubt because nothing in her demeanor makes me believe she is a criminal or some type of deviant like a terrorist (again keeping in mind my law enforcement and military background). Don't be so quick to judge people when you don't really know her or her family's life. People who are so quick to judge and condemn are often the ones who cause the fights that lead people like me to have to intervene to try to keep the peace.
I moved to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere years ago and I love it. I just sit back and laugh at the misery going on in big cities with crime, traffic, etc.
I live in a big city (L.A.). And, yes, there's crime, traffic, homelessness. But there's also wonderful restaurants of every ethnicity, live theater and music, art, architectural gems, museums, beautiful public gardens and many other hidden gems. Rural American has both upsides and downsides as well.
@@jackienaiditch7965 Big cities are cesspools of crime and immorality.
And those of us who live in big cities and enjoy all the sporting events, concerts, theaters, dining and social options are laughing right back at you...
@@jackienaiditch7965 one big downside of rural America are all the Trump lovers 🙄
@@joez3706 What’s so fun about spending thousands to do that?
Outstanding story. Thanks.
This video is my normal. Peter brings the rest of the world to us without connotations. Thank you Peter for also bringing our world, the part of the world that feeds the rest of the world, without negativity.
ALOT OF FREEDOM LOVING FOLKS WOULD LOVE TO MOVE TO THIS TOWN!👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲 GREETINGS FROM THE UK!👍🇿🇦🇬🇧
Thanks Peter. You always have the most interesting and enthusiastic people in your videos. It's good to see the perspective from all people.
I've been through Kit Carson many times. Although the landscape is too barren for my liking, the people of Eastern Colorado are an absolute joy to be around. Farm and ranch kids make tremendous athletes! I live North of Denver, and purchased a historic log cabin in Northwest Arkansas, so I travel highway 287 pretty frequently. One of these days I need to stop and get Carson and have lunch and meet some of the kind people. Rural hospitality just can't be beat!
As wierd as this sounds, this is taking me back to when I used to play on a Minecraft server called 'wondering plains'. Literally matchess the atmosphere completely and everyone was like this on the server. Strange that a computer game somehow perfectly mirrored a real place and community. Sad to think that, that server hasn't existed for about 9 years now but my god was it a fun time growing up. Amazing work yet again with these videos, as a Brit, they are so informative and make me wonder what life would be like in one of those communities. I think a road trip is needed.
Wow the whole grass fed grain finished thing opened my mind! So much to know about meat its a minefield
Its also incorrect what she said. Plenty of feed lots were they're fed ground corn stalks. Causes acidosis which is treated with meds, they slaughter them before they die of a diet they aren't supposed to eat.
I notice something about these small safe communities. There's something they all have in common, but I can't quite gather what it is
Good people looking out for one another
As I started watching, I began reading the comments. Saw lots of comments about “who is Loretta Lynn.” I was sure it was the woman who wouldn’t know Loretta Lynn (given her young age.) Was surprised to see its Peter who was clueless.
Great people. Decendence of the one who build and founded this country. Extrem work ethic.
Really, really loving your content on rural America - very insightful, thoughtful and refreshing. Thanks so much for doing them. James Cox, San Antonio, Texas
That baby German Shepard, wow, super cute! This girl was so outgoing and friendly, very enjoyable!
Hire me
No such thing as a good animal breeder. They are in the slave trade splitting apart families.
I just love the hospitality out there, they are all so warm and welcoming.
Thanks so much Pete for taking us on these journeys with you. Each video is very informative and stretches the imagination when seeing how others live around the country or the world. Cheers!
Great video. By far, for me, your best video yet. Thank you for bringing light to our way of life. I'm from Wyoming and we do the same thing as this video. But I also am an agricultural Electrical contractor, so I get out to all the other ranches and farm around the county. I see all the aspects of farming and ranching. I see their struggles and triumphant years. Thanks you.
Poor mama dog having puppies and then that woman selling them. Animal breeders are the worst. All use is abuse.
Another great video! Nice to see you covering real life and people living how they actually live life.
The more i watch this series the more i ponder considering moving into a small farm town. I've always loved agriculture and can see myself living in it. Great series Peter, very well documented.
Thanks Peter. This is how it used to be in my home town in Ct. in the 50, 60s and 70's- Its very refreshing to see small town still exists.
You got the best content out here right now on u-tube.... Always so interesting. Thanks for taking us along on your journey Peter..👊😀
100% agree
I would live there in a heartbeat 😃 what a town good place to raise kids 👏👌👍🤗kit Carson WOW great place 🥰
Peter, I love how you go to these corners of America and get genuinely interested in their way of life and spend time with them. My favorite so far has been Alpine, TX.
Really enjoyed this video. Seems like they have a great community. They're trying to do some great things to build their town up, you love to see it.
I’ve really loved this series. Such a great look into a business and way of life so unknown to me.
Fiona is cool. Should have her own TH-cam channel
