That same day, I began my 23 hour journey by car to Buffalo, Wyoming. I&#8217;ve been out west a few times for short term trips. However, this has been my first experience in Wyoming and my first time living in a town with a population of less than 5,000. The past few months have provided lots of opportunities for growth and situations to adjust to. I&#8217;m so thankful for the new experiences, people, job, and scenery. I&#8217;ve\u00a0been able to visit 2 national parks already (Buffalo is within driving distance of several) and witness some breathtaking scenery.<\/p>\n<p>Building new friendships with people who have similar interests has been very rewarding to me. The mountains, wildlife, and vast prairies of Wyoming has shown me how different the ecosystem here is from what I am used to. I&#8217;ve been challenged to learn about range plants, animals, GIS, and a variety of other useful skills. I miss my home and friends in Kentucky, but I realize why I need to be here- for growth and the opportunity to explore. After 4 weeks it has been reinforced how much\u00a0I love my state, as absence makes the heart grow fonder. I may not be in Buffalo for long, but it has already left a mark that has changed me for the better.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>-Savannah McGuire<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Range Intern<\/p>\n<p>Bureau of Land Management- Buffalo Field Office<\/p>\n<p>Buffalo, Wyoming<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_79439\" style=\"width: 258px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79439\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-79439\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/File_000-2-e1527804914349-450x600.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"329\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-79439\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of our range sites in Kaycee, Wyoming (Red Rock Wall)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_79440\" style=\"width: 268px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79440\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-79440\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/File_000-1-e1527804930774-450x600.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"258\" height=\"338\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-79440\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Someone kindly donated rhubard from their garden to the office<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_79441\" style=\"width: 267px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79441\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-79441\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/File_000-e1527804992800-450x600.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"339\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-79441\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wildflowers picked in Buffalo<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_79442\" style=\"width: 266px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79442\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-79442\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/File_000-3-e1527805064998-450x600.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"256\" height=\"338\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-79442\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Making new friends at CPR Training day<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friends!
