Title: “Once you leave home, you can never go back”

My thoughts on coming back after a decade to the Rockies. The mountains are the same they are beautiful and inspiring. My mountain home is over run, over populated, I am over it.

Canmore has become Aspen, Banff expansion cap has simply pushed development just outside the protected lands. A cute NIMBYism that the feds get to play to “protect the wilds of Canada”

I will never come back, hopefully my kids memories will be fond. Next time we are going into the bush, Siffleur Wilderness Sounds like a plan

Your quote is very true to me. A place and the memory of a place are two very different things. I've had several moments like you are describing. Sometimes it sucks to get older and watch things change.

A hippie pyrotechnian told me that, at the time I didn’t understand. It seems all the more important as I make my own home in a different place.

I bet each previous generation feels this way about the latest one. Like what we saw as being better before was actually “worse” to the one previously before us.
