"And it's borne out of experiences living in rural areas that people from nearby cities treat like their own personal playgrounds." That has been my sad experience too. I live in a beautiful place. Lack of services keep most people away, but as more people seek to enjoy nature, it gets trashed. I used to go on walks and things were clean, now I can fill a small bag with trash. There are some local attractions that the world should see, but the locations are not shared online for fear they will be trashed. Those fears are not unfounded. As for the dark, starry sky - just last night I looked out my window at a cold, clear night and all the stars. It is our there, but who wants to live in a place with spotty cell service, no trash service, a few small restaurants and abundant cold weather?
