Whether your from Woodward, Enid, No Man's land, Kingfisher, or even Geary we are all proud to grow up in Northwest Oklahoma. Here are 11 signs you grew up in Northwestern Oklahoma.
1. You never have cell service.
No matter what part you are in, you can never find cell service. Legend has it that somebody got LTE in Enid one day, but I personally dont believe them.
2. You are not used to seeing trees.
If Northwest Oklahoma is lacking in one things its trees. While we might be lacking oxygen, we can see for miles around.
3. If there is not a wheat field around, its not home.
Agriculture is one of the main commodity, and this part of the country is creditied to raising some of the highest quality wheat around. I can tell you from experience waving wheat really does smells sweat when the rain comes right behind the rain.
4. Cattle outnumber people
Being a cattle producers, this fact gives me a little bit of pride. I would rather be surrounded by cattle instead of people anyway.
5. Eischens is a household name.
People travel from miles around to get a taste of Eischens fried chicken. Lucky enough this place is right in our backyard.
6. Red Dirt covers all your belongings
Oklahoma is known for the wind, and when red dirt is involved its sure to get messy. From your hair to your boots you can never get that red dirt off.
7. You grew up around FFA
Northwest Oklahoma is speckled with small rural towns where FFA rules supreme. Oklahoma is know for their FFA chapters but remember, Northwest, Northbest.
8. You have grown used to oilfield locations
In the recent years, oilfield has become a hit. You get used to seeing locations light up in a row at night.
9. Seeing Tumbleweeds is a normal occurrence
Driving down the road you are likely to see a tumbleweed blowing across the road. My family has even used tumbleweeds as a christmas tree.
10. Used to driving on bad roads
No matter where you are in this part of the state the roads are all bad. Driving anywhere is a fun game of dodge the potholes.
11. At least an hour from civilization
Whether you need a Walmart or something more extravagant you better be prepared to drive for a little bit,
