My Special Place

Rosebud County, Montana

                Many people might want to go to places with miles of beaches or endless shopping but I would rather go to an area that incorporates a life of slowing down with wildlife. Rosebud, Montana is a small town containing about 9,000 people. All of the activities are outdoors and a lot of them include animals and is known for its natural beauty of land. The land is very diverse containing mountains that change to fields to streams of trout. It is a land for those who appreciate nature.

                To get there I would take Interstate 94 W, it would be a 30 hour drive but I much rather drive and see the scenery than go in a plane. While I drive I would go to spots on the way and enjoy the adventure and anticipation of what will happen. About halfway through the drive is the city of Chicago; that is one stop that I have to see. Another reason I chose to drive the long distance is to hopefully meet people along the way like Christopher did in Into the Wild. I am a fairly outgoing person so I don’t think I would have trouble meeting new people and enjoying the freedom that comes along with it.

                When I arrive it will be the beginning of June, if I don’t get side-tracked on the drive, that way I have the entire summer to spend my time there.  In Montana it can be very warm to cool 70° F in a matter of days. Though the weather might change it won’t stop me from having an awesome adventure. While I am there I would like to find a ranch for cattle and work there for a while. I want to embrace the wildlife and work a rancher does on a daily basis; sure it is hard work but I would rather be working hard with animals and other people than living a boring summer. I expect to make several friends while living in a small town where everyone knows each other while accomplishing my dream of living on a ranch.
