Right on Stacey. I live in the Western White Mountains of New Hampshire in a town with a population of 230. I like to travel but also like coming home to my community!

I spent almost 2 years in North Dakota (in Hatton, then Finley), and although I was happy to move on (the winters are just too brutal), I have to admit that the plains have a certain grandeur to them. All that earth and sky makes you feel so dang tiny and insignificant. Whoever, or whatever created us - you can sure feel it's presence in a place like that. All you have to do is take the time.

All in all, my time there was a positive experience and I wouldn't want to trade it.

Darren,

I always thought the film "Dances with Wolves" did a great job of portraying the awesome vastness of the plains. Some of the long-distance shots of a single wagon and all that grass and sky were very cool, and really captured the majesty of the place.
