My Escape

Most people have special places where they go to relax and find inspiration. For example, my most relaxing and inspirational place to be is at Riceville Bridge. It is a peaceful pull-off area past Belt, Montana just before entering the Sluicebox, state park. My family and I have spent many times there. When I was younger my sister and I learned how to swim in Belt Creek at Riceville Bridge. My grandma is buried outside of Belt at the Belt cemetery, so when I want to get away I usually go out to Riceful Bridge and sit by the calming, peaceful Belt Creek. The sound of the rapid flowing creek, birds in the background, and the smell of fresh air makes me look back and remember all of the fun and exciting memories I have had with my family out there. It is also very peaceful to me because I feel like my grandma is watching over me, protecting me, and letting me know that life is sometimes very difficult but to never give up. Some times life for me is very difficult and frustrating. That’s when I turn to Riceful Bridge, because I know that I can sit out there and talk to myself and vent things out and feel like I have some type of connection with the atmosphere. It is by far my most relaxing and inspirational place to be because I feel very comfortable and wanted there.
