He & Mom & my sisters were SE of Spearman a ways in OK, but experienced the whole ordeal. They lived through a lot of them, but Dad talked about one exceptionally bad one in particular.

Not as bad as that one because of modern field management techniques, but bad nonetheless: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.

Yesterday I started watching again the PBS documentary about the Dust Bowl. A few weeks ago I had a nice PM-conversation with one of our members here who could give me a more specific and in-depth look into the topic because he is living not far away from the places depicted in the series. Is anyone here who can tell also a little bit about it? Probably from stories he heard from the grandparents and parents? Elmer Keith

When I was in Basic at Ft Sill OK, we had one blow in from over in New Mexico.... we were out in the field at the time.... so we were ordered to hunker down for 2 days... back at the Barracks, we had been told to leave the windows open a 1/4 of an inch.... we returned with about 3 inches of dust on everything in just that 48 hours...

Kenneth66 Campfire Tracker K Joined: May 2016 Posts: 3,277	Was staying outside of Page Arizona for a couple weeks . Got caught in one , about a couple miles from the condos we were staying at . Thought it was a thunderstorm comming when I spotted it in the distance . With a woman and couple dogs . It was on us quick , huge tumble weeds blasting by and other debri , it finally got so intense had to lay down on the ground , it was pretty wild for several minutes , I could hear her screaming but couldn’t see her , when it calmed down I laughed as I found her and dogs in a cement building a little ways off sobbing, She got pissed because I was laughing , I said , hell you were in here what the hell you crying about ? Our first time out west , we had several interesting adventures on hikes . Kenneth
