Where is everyone, where's all the traffic

[–] odium@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

No one lives in the Texas panhandle.

Nice and flat, looks like home!

Quit playing the the filters OP. We all know what that state really looks like. We've seen movies FFS!

Western Oklahoma?

[–] odium@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

ooh, super close.

Spoiler

Texas panhandle (west Texas)

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Damn! I guessed the other side.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Absolutely beautiful in my opinion

I went to Oklahoma once, the sunset was amazing, even the grass had shadows because of how flat it was out there

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can confirm, for some reason Oklahoma has out of this world sunsets! The oranges and red are so insanely vibrant

Damn, so much praise for them. Guess I'll go see one soon. Maybe this weekend if the weather looks good.

Any recs on where to catch good Oklahoma sunsets? Preferably in the southern part of the state.

Broken Bow Reservoir, very SE corner. When I was there in '90 it was the clearest man-made reservoir in the US. Stunning geography, nothing like the rest of the state.

[–] odium@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

That is within weekend trip distance for me. I'll go check it out soon. Thanks for the rec.

I live in the flattest state in the union, Florida, and have never seen a view even close to that. Hell, even Oklahoma doesn't get that flat. Kansas on the other hand...

Yeah, the Texas panhandle is the flattest place I've ever been to. It's insane.
