Where have all the good places gone?
I'm just back from a week or so backpacking in the North Cascades (my backyard) and have been about as far away from civilization as one can get in the continental US anymore. It's pretty nice to hear nothing but some birds and chipmunk's fighting... and planes?!?!
It's amazing how many jet's fly overhead- at least 4 or 5 a day. Yes, it's a small amount compared to many places, but it's not just any place. It's the middle of nowhere, now. And yet, modern technology intrudes. They were high, of course, and not skimming the ground. Probably wouldn't even notice them anywhere near the city. But when you are out on a long walk, backpacking in the wilderness with the bears, you do. It's actually pretty painful.
I really have no question to discuss. It's just sad, really.
