Dumas has a packing plant and lotsa people who work there. 12 hours ago, Neonmoon said: Prison? Internship. For the work I was doing, Dalhart was awesome. And is it really THAT bad? You're a short drive from Taos. Taos is awesome. The nicer parts of Amarillo are fine too.
May 8, 20196 yr I grew up in the panhandle and don’t at all mind a long drive, but judging a towns value by the proximity to a different place +/- 200 miles away is laughable. Ely, NV is great. You’re only a 4hr drive from the Vegas strip!
May 8, 20196 yr I drove through Dalhart once. It was indistinguishable from any of the rural county seat towns in Nebraska, western Iowa, or Kansas. That's not a compliment. I'd have to think you could get a good steak or burger there, though.
May 8, 20196 yr Do those rural county seat towns have 200,000 cows upwind? Is everyone's back yard laden with sandbur? I work in agriculture, and Dallam and Hartley counties are 90% irrigated corn. That is why I was there. Good bbq though. Hodie's gets my whole-hearted endorsement.

They have lots of cows and pigs, so yeah, they smell. Less irrigation probably (but still a fair amount of it).

May 8, 20196 yr You would have missed some great food over the years if you counted the heath code violations. Just sayin...I’ve eaten at plenty of rundown shitholes, and I know it happens but I don’t want to see it in a picture or while I’m eating.

It's exactly what you would expect halfway between Guyman, Oklahoma and Tucumcari, New Mexico to look, sound, smell, and taste like.

May 15, 20196 yr It's exactly what you would expect halfway between Guyman, Oklahoma and Tucumcari, New Mexico to look, sound, smell, and taste like.But not halfway between Texhoma and Texline.Mind blown . GIF

May 19, 20196 yr I've been to Dodge, Garden City and all over the small ag areas. The big towns smell better.
February 14, 20214 yr My grandparents and folks winter in Arizona, and in late March I’m driving my dad’s vehicle down to Tucson to permanently leave there. Looks like I’ll be spending a Friday night in Dalhart in the process. Anything worth a shit there food and booze-wise, or should I just plan on getting Subway and a 6 pack in my hotel room?
February 14, 20214 yr Woof. Only driven through en route to Colorado so can't really speak. But it appears to be a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase.
February 14, 20214 yr Hell, I posted in the thread and forgot about it.I drove through there years ago, and it seemed like any other small town in the middle of nowhere, but I didn’t eat there or anything.Based on that thread, woof. Then again, I have a high tolerance for places in the middle of nowhere.
February 14, 20214 yr My wife's grandmother and most of her mom's family live in Hartley, which is even smaller and the next town over. There used to be a decent little mom & pop Mexican place there, but her aunt said it closed due to covid. There are lots of migrants living there now working in the dairies, so I'd bet most Taquerias are legit.

February 14, 20214 yr some good looking girls in dumasYou must be one of them ding dong daddy’s Chad Briscoe warned us about. Nothing good ever came from Dumas.
February 14, 20214 yr Combining the first syllables of the names of the two counties in which it is located.
February 14, 20214 yr I don’t need fine dining, but a good burger would work.I believe that Allsup’s is the only fine dining option in Dalhart.
February 14, 20214 yr That is correct sir. Dalhart straddles the county line between Dallam and Hartley Counties.

It was actually very good food. No atmosphere at all and off the beaten path, but definitely worth the extra 10 minutes detour off of 87. Dumas is a lot nicer, imo.
