March 11th, 2010 Posted in Outdoors | No Comments »It seems as though people are always running after something in particular. People are hurrying always to collect the latest gadgets, own the fastest car, the sleekest cell phone, and the latest in home appliances. There isn’t one person who caused this phenomenal obsession with nuance. We know we can change tomorrow by tinkering today, and so we are always fascinated by the new because we test our minds in a new way. In this day and age, the more exotic the location you travel to, and the more recently your cell phone came out into the market, and the more technological your job is, the more fascinating you are. People have a fixation with new, with fast, and with shiny. It seems that people have forgotten the origin of excitement in American culture. When cowboys rode across the west and wrangling wild stallions was the lay of the land. It doesn’t seem like people are interested in this sort of fun anymore, and places like dude ranches that keep that fun alive are becoming less talked about.
