    LOL so many people misunderstand what right wing people stand for. Just because we love our guns and go target shooting and fly an American flag and live in Texas doesnt mean we have anything against Peace or 420 We just call BS when needed on certain situations and have enough common sense to know when "someone" is pissin on our boots and calling it a rainstorm! I am a right side girl and love to watch Wonderhussy videos!

      Did you know that the majority of her followers are right wing folks? All the way from the extreme to the moderate right, but most are on the extreme side. I'd conservatively estimate it at around 80%.
      Personally, have both left and right views so I guess I'm the oddball of the bunch. And I know darned well when someone is pissing on my boots and telling me it's just rain.

    Origins. In 1971, five high school students in San Rafael, California, used the term "4:20" in connection with a plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, based on a treasure map made by the grower. CALIFORNIA Penal code 420 has nothing to do with cannabis.

    The Peace Park is designed to point towards the Pantex Plant. It is clearly visible as you look down the sign and the cross. Maybe 5 miles away. That is the final assembly and disassembly plant for the US nuclear arsenal.

      Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." He was a slave master at heart and wanted everyone giving to make a bigger more controlling federal government. He was getting people killed in Vietnam and starting wars just like Biden is doing. Typical control freak democrat. Glad Oswald ended it before it got any worse.

    St. Christopher is the Patron Saint of travelers/truckers. The Stations of the Cross only represent moments during the Crucifixion. I think we were witnessing dueling ideologies at that Peace Memorial. The Pro-Military, Pro-American installations honoring service were added on adjacent property by other groups. Same with anything specifically Christian. The Peace Sign was specifically for nuclear disarmament, with the center line being the semaphore signal for the letter D. The slanted lines are the 'N" in semaphore.

    I mentioned before about my son's Shepherd/Coyote Mix getting bitten by a rattlesnake in Texas, which she did not survive.
    The REST/PICNIC AREA behind you is at Mile Marker 12... the last Picnic Table with the Shade Cover in the group of 6 heading toward Amarillo was where she was bitten.
    In fact, right over your shoulder at 15:32 I can see the very table.
    Don't want to be morbid, but it was a tad emotional when I looked over your shoulder and saw the very location where "TINY" was fatally bitten.
    That was June 26th, 2010. I still cannot walk through tall grass or sit anywhere that has a shadow without investigating what might be hiding there. Old Junk Cars... Can't do it!
    And now moving on to a lighter note... Been that route several times, that Gallery/Memorial is relatively new.

    Made a video of the old Texas Longhorn steakhouse and motel back in 2019. The roof was still intact on the rooms in the back and there were more signs of recent habitation. Guess after the dispensary went in, the Longhorn was cleaned up as well for some anticipated business of another type on the TX side. Also, right across the old 66 lays the remnants of the old, Choctaw route of the Rock Island line. Rails were ripped out in the mid 80s after The Rock went belly up in 1980.

      CND or Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was the organization that first used Houltons design. That was in Great Britain in the late 50’s. It eventually was used by the Civil Rights movement in America and then as a general sign for peace and the major antiwar symbol to protest the war in Vietnam.

      @@sallycollins2445 Old bodies from Roman times have been found still with nails left in the heel!
      And the hands couldn't carry a persons weight, like seen here, so they had nails on the backside of the single timber, through their arms or hands. So what Jesus may have carried wasn't a cross but a pole.

    I was hoping 🙏 you were going to visit The Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ in Groom, TX east of Amarillo. You did miss the tomb which is directly below the crucifixion.
    Wow, what difference in the looks of what I call the Amarillo cross complex and the Cadillac Ranch pigsty.

    In some circles, leaving your name at the cross is equivalent to leaving your sins at the cross. Some actually write the sin they carry with them and cannot seem to overcome. Leaving it at the cross, leaving it behind.
