I dated a girl who’s parents lived near forgan (I think that was the town) not sure how close the really were, but we weren’t quite to guymon. The wind and lack of water really kill the panhandle for me. I enjoyed getting to go visit though, her dad and I got along really well and we would spend most of our time shooting or hunting.
”Lake”? It’s a puddle. I had a heck of a time putting a jonboat into that body of water while doing some research, years ago. Had to back the truck way out into the water almost to the axles, then wade knee-deep around and push the boat off the trailer since it was so shallow. On my return, I had to winch the boat up and onto the trailer, then drive some 50 yards to the exposed bottom of the boat ramp and on out. The “lake” was, surprisingly, some 14-15 feet deep over the original channel, but less than 5 feet in most other places.
It’s either Texas or Kansas and I’d choose Texas. Haha
Not sure where the Center is from Raton, NM, but the distance between Guymon and Raton is 188 miles, according to Google maps. Just shy of 3 hours.
The idea of combining the two Panhandles goes back even further than 30 years. That was spoken of when I was growing up in the 50's and 60's.
I guess the wind as bad in Guymon as it is every where else in western Oklahoma?
Probably worse, but 3-4 trees to break it up so not that bad.
