As I write this last blog post, I find myself reflecting on my time at Montauk during these past 10 weeks and reminiscing about my times spent there as a child. While I may find myself caught up with my school work and the stresses of everyday life, Montauk will always hold a very special place in my heart.
Montauk was my very first field trip in elementary school, the place where I learned to fish, the place where I was able to actually hold a live hummingbird in the palm of my hand and also the name of my very first pet cat after he followed my mom and I back to our car after hiking the Montauk Lake Trail.
Who needs constant electronic stimulation when you can have your own true nature show experience for free? After 10 minutes immersed in the sheer beauty of Montauk, with the crisp clean air and the crystal clear waters, you’ll never want to leave. I myself like to think of Montauk as my home away from home.
These past couple of months have made me remember just how much Montauk has to offer. Not only does the park offer plenty of family-friendly activities, but through its many nature programs, with the help of the Missouri Department of Conservation, Montauk also educates the young and old alike about the environment in which we live. Hopefully, with this knowledge, we can protect the magnificent wonders of Mother Nature and preserve them for future generations to come.
