Went to high school on the Wind River Indian reservation (mostly Shoshone and Arapaho). I moved around a lot when I was a kid, going to schools all over the world. From mega-schools in California to a small two-room schoolhouse in Montana, and as far away as Newfoundland, Puerto Rico and Italy. This was by far the very best school I'd ever attended. Tough curriculum definitely focused on pushing you to your limits, but it was small enough that you could do just about anything you wanted. You might not be on the varsity team, but as long as you had a will to work hard you stood a good chance of doing whatever sport you wanted.
If I didn't have wrestling or football practice I'd come home from school, pick up my pack and .22 rifle, and go exploring for miles around. Once found an old cavalry sword that my history teacher helped me figure out some background on. Also found the remains of an old weather balloon. LOTS of solitary time spent enjoying the outdoors. If there would have been a good way for me to make a living doing something I liked, I'd still be there to this day. No matter where I travel in life, my home town will always be Morton, Wyoming.
on another note: Google streetview is awesome.
