Yes Fred, things have changed dramatically just in the past 14 years. However, when I compare to 60 years ago growing up here in Idaho, the change really is apparent. The disrespect for land and wildlife is rampant and very saddening. Two pickup loads of garbage that we annually pick up on the dirt road above our house at the end of the deer/elk season is disappointing. I could go on and on, but won't. We've all seen it. We've nosed around the Intermountain West quite a bit, and you're right, we can't seem to locate any place better than what we have, so we do what we can to take care of it.
