Recently, a few of my friends went on the Pine Ridge break, and they came back in a culture shock. Their stories about how open the land was, and how the skies were so clear reminded me of my family's house in Virginia. It's all open there, you can see mountains for miles and miles. You can see galaxies at night; it's crystal clear. Like Pine Ridge, in some parts of Rocky Gap, poverty is evident. Many live in small trailers that become damaged in just about every storm. The closest Wal-Mart is about 30 miles and the gas station is about 5.
I'd love to go to SD next year, but I don't think it'd have the same shock on me as my fellow peeps.
