The road I travel ever day is a long one. I live in Waltham Maine, not a lot of people know were that is. It is about half hour from Ellsworth, and it is all wooded area right in the middle of now were. Lots of wild animals. It is just miles of road you get bored of driving it ever day, because nothing changes same things ever day trees and more trees. This time of year the road just gets worse and worse with the holes and bumps get really bad. In the winter time with the snow is very bad our plow guy is not that good. It does not help that were I live the wind is always blowing and that makes it hard to keep up with the snow. It is nice and quit and a lot of back roads.
It is funny when I look at the road I live on now and as to how I looked at the road as a child. I look at it as very dangerous. I have lost two dogs because of the road a year apart. As a child we had like maybe two dogs hit there my hole childhood. Maybe I just have bad luck with dogs. The road was very quit when I was a child we could ride our bikes in the road and go for walks all the time. I would never do that now or let my kids play out there. There are more big trucks and more and people and they go very fast when they go by. I always saw the road as being fun as a kid, but not now. The road is a lot different than how it was when I was a child. I loved the road when I was a kid and now I see the road as being very dangerous.
I feel that the road I travel is very dangerous. It is so long and not a lot of people travel it, so if something happens who know when someone will find you. There are moose and bears and all kinds of wild life and you never know when the animals are going to be out in the road. It is also nice to watch the animals, and my kids love to see the deer and what ever else we see. Not a lot of people have seen a moose or bears we see them every once and a while. The roads in them self are dangerous not well maintained, just with the frost, snow, and rain, but that is what happens when you live in a small town. You have to deal with that kind of stuff. I think it is worth it to live out and a small town were I grew up.
The best part of where I live is all the back roads and skidder, jeep, and four-wheeler trails. I love them but those kind of trails are not for everyone. I love the mud and getting suck and just riding a round. Some people don't like mud and get really mad when they get suck. I feel it makes it a little more fun, because someone is going to get stuck. Than sometimes when things brake in the mud its not so much fun. That is when it gets a little costly and that is not a lot of fun either. The cleaning part is not a hole lot of fun either.
I love the part of my road is being back at my home town. Most of my family is right there a couple of minutes a way from each other. It really feels like I'm back home. That is because I live right next door to my parents house. There are some days when I wish I was anywhere but next to them. Than there are the days when my sisters and brothers drive me crazy and I can't get a way from them. Even when my family drive me crazy I still love them. I also know they are right there if I need anything. All in all when I dive home on the long drive home I know me family is all ways there for me just like I have been there for them in the past. The road outside my house means much more to me than just a road. It is the road I have always traveled in my life and it brings me home to my family and my friends.
First three grafs are great--good intro, contrasts in grafs 2 & 3, but you lose the thread in graf 4 and start writing about a different road or type of road altogether and lose the contrast you started. Great last graf, however--really excellent and individual material. I'm going to forget about the hiccup in graf 4 and take this for all the many good things in it.
