Wyoming

Last spring I went on a vacation of a lifetime. I went on a two month stay in alpine wyoming.
I flew out of grand rapids to denver colorado or as a joke we called it color a du.It was a eight hour flight to Idaho falls, Idaho. I love flying but I can 't stand long long flights.When i got out of the plane I saw that I was in a tiny airport that didn 't even have a ACT, which is an aircraft control tower. This tower controls all radio and all maintenance for the runway. When I got my bearings I went carrying my green rucksack and saw my mom and I went straight to her she was so excited to see me after four months. I went outside into the blazing heat of idaho smelling of corn and potatoes, nothing else. After going to the army supply store we headed back to wyoming as we saw a wild fire in the distance I wondered what started it.But i knew i would never find out so on our drive we also saw the world 's biggest potato (Not really it was a giant fake potato the size of a truck). Once we hit the pass into wyoming we were all silent with nothing to talk about.
But the view in the pass is insane it looked like everything was about to fall on me at any time.Which is also next to the snake river known for …show more content…

We made it to alpine a tiny town that was full of very rich farm houses that had at least 40 horses each.These houses went for 800 thousand and more they had guest houses and decks that were bigger than my house.A few other towns we were close to where etna,freedom which had a gun range and store that 's it,and wilson.Theses houses have populations down to 82 people.Everything here was dry and dry and hot and dry it was so dry and dusty you could sit for a bit and your shirt would turn brown.When it was night time it got down to 30 degrees and sunrise was very very late so you always woke up in the dark.I went to jackson and bought quite a bit of stuff and my grandpa came out with my guitar.We stayed up all night playing around in our rv.I learned a lot in

The towns are super small and there aren’t a lot either. The places don’t have air-conditioning or heaters. The setting was amazing. I could see it in my head when I was reading. There were dirt roads, dirt floors in houses and people outside burning up in the heat.

My dad and I went on a muzzleloader antelope hunting trip, in Central Oregon. Four days into our trip, on September 1st, we started our morning off like the past three days, very tired. We stumbled out of our beds and, drowsily, we geared up and left for another unknowing day of hunting. Once we arrived at some alfalfa fields, my dad let me drive the dirt roads.

Pikes Peak This past summer I went on vacation with my aunt’s family to Colorado, and being from iowa, the land of corn and flat ground, we wanted to do all the mountain things you can do in Colorado. one very memorable mountain we visited was Pikes Peak, one of the tallest mountains in Colorado 14,114 thousand feet above sea level. There are two ways you can get to the top of Pikes Peak, you can drive up the side of the mountain, or you can ride the train up the other side, if you ride the train then you can only be on the top for 20 to 30 minutes, but if you drive you can do whatever you want, so we chose to drive up. The drive up was beautiful, even though the road was really windy and made me car sick it was still really cool to see.

I grew up in a small town with a very old history. Every year in August, the Old Settlers Reunion parade began downtown and led out to a carnival on historic grounds. The public library usually held activities for the community and Friday night football was always a blast. My favorite place to eat was the Pizza Palace.

One of the most difficult things I have ever experienced is moving to Idaho before my junior year of high school from Utah. Despite this being a common occurrence for people it was hard for me because it uprooted me from the community I had lived in for the past seven years, and the people I loved. It caused me to leave friends that I grew up with and that I couldn’t imagine leaving. And forced me to meet new friends and discover a new place. As I have had time to reflect on my experiences it causes me to realize that it doesn’t matter where you are, or the people you know, but how you react in the situation.

During the time when I got old enough I got to go to school. There were six to fourteen year olds in my class because we only had one classroom. I helped the younger students with their work when I finished with mine in the classroom. I had to memorize everything because they didn't have notebooks. I would bring my own lunch which was sometimes a bacon grease sandwich, oatmeal, bread with homemade jelly/butter or leftovers.

I went to the beach and went swimming almost every day. When I didn’t want to walk to the beach I could go to the back yard and jump in the pool we had. And at night when the pool started to get cold I could go on the upstairs balcony and get in the hot tub. The pool had lights in it but the hot tub had lights and jets. While I was down in North Carolina we went to a place with big sand dunes.
