I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

The hunting and fishing has been very good, I live in a very peaceful setting with abundant wildlife and few neighbors. My grandfather left Colorado in the thirties looking for work. I often wonder what if. Ever since my first deer hunting trip there I've daydreamed of owning a piece of property in the heart of big mule deer country. If we are dreaming, I suppose that's mine.

WranglerJohn Campfire Regular W Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 2,130	There is no place on Earth I'd rather be. I've seen what's out there, and it's all pretty much the same. All I've ever wanted was a place with green pastures, healthy horses, quiet foaling barns, cereal scented hay, warm sun and a bench to sit on as it passed overhead, and a barn full of champion purebreds waiting to perform. A place where there are simple chores to do, and the delight of doing them well. A place where there are no tragedies or emergencies, and the noisiest thing is children's laughter. It's a place where everyone works together, easing each others burden and finding joy in fellowship. I've already been there, it was long ago, before age made me skeptical. Maybe there is another place ahead where I'll find it again, maybe behind the wardrobe, maybe through a looking glass, but I doubt it will be on this world. I wonder what awaits in that promise that was spoken softly to me in a dream. It seemed so real.

It is inland far enough to be somewhat remote, but it is still striking distance to the NW coastal waters. With this economy and the hit I took I might not get there.

I do like Montana and I really liked Wyoming (it will always be home) but it seems like not a day goes buy where I don't here of a Meth problem, both in Wyoming or Montana. It is like the western states have become a giant meth lab. Maybe I just am always on my toes and watch for users and read the paper too much but it is really a problem. �The constitution of the United States asserts that all power is inherent in the people, that they may exercise it by themselves, that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed!� � Thomas Jefferson
