The Town

Colstrip is a funny little town.  We like it.  It has it's perks.

Here's some of our favorite things:

1. There's a free recreation center for anyone who lives/pays taxes in Colstrip.  They have free daycare if you want to work out sans kids, they have free classes specifically FOR your kids, and there are spinning, lifting, yoga, cardio, and all kinds of other classes. Free.  Awesome. Yay.

Here's my girl, rockin' the balance beam.

 

2. Other drivers wave at you when you pass them.  Just to be nice.  'Cause it's a small town. 

3.  There are 4 wheelers and dirt-bikes all over the roads here.

4. There are (something like) 27 miles of bike/running trails throughout the community and hills.  It comes in handy while training for a 1/2 marathon.

5.  The whole town went to the homecoming football game at the high school.  Go Colts!  There would have been a parade too, but it got rained out.  There's always next year.

6.  Deer run amok. So funny, right?  Tonight on my run one jumped out of a gully and started staring me down. He was about 8 feet away from me and I thought I was going to die, or piddle in my panties (neither of which happened, thankfully).  At least I'm getting close to nature?  I think I'll carry bear spray tomorrow, though. 


7. Yesterday I saw 2 phesants right outside my back gate.

What's your favorite thing about where  you live?
