Janis: Arlo, look! Someone has put up a "No Trespassing" sign! Janis: Aah, we've been coming up here for years! Arlo: We're not hurting anything! Arlo: Well, we're going to sit and enjoy the scenery like we always do! Arlo: Are you about ready? Janis: You were magnificent!
Varnes… yes, but it’s everywhere that’s scenic, not just there…we all want to move to someplace “unspoiled”…
As long as it has all the creature comforts, of course.I mean… we have to have indoor plumbing, right?And electricity?Paved roads, a store or two…
um… what about TV, internet, cell towers, phone lines…if children arrive, they need schools… we were OK without a hospital, but we become more protective of children…
Before you know it, our corner of paradise has become suburbia, or a city…the new shopping mall is ugly…but wow, the t-shirts and canned beans sure are cheaper at Target…
But we miss “unspoiled.”So we move a bit father out…and start spoiling it, just by our presence.Others will come because we are there..and 20 years later, there’s a WalMart.
I especially love travel reviews, where people complain about the number of tourists on the beach, or in that formerly picturesque little town by the once-empty bay….Hey, travel writers! I know how to reduce that number by one!If everybody did that…. there’d be NO ONE there!!
LOL
