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.

Let me know when you are back, there are places to the South and North that have been forgotten by most, but not by some. Creek beds without footprints, valleys without roads, and lakes without motors.

I know them well, but my extended family likes to glamp. The mountains still renewed us. Its been 11yrs today with my bride. We have a new life built by those past days. K country is stil my home, tombstone is still rough for the tourists.

Much love, glad to see its custodians are well. Take care Sikto
