Exquisite natural beauties undisturbed for hundreds of thousands of years, right on top our perfectly beautiful mountain at Wolf Creek Pass.
All of the life that lives up there undisturbed, living perfectly, with leaves of the trees blowing around their own little community in harmony.
‘Extinct’ is a word that carries a heaviness with it… no more, forever gone, never to be seen again heard again or visited…again. The solitude, the poetic connections of all life forms on Wolf Creek Pass. That moment in time would be gone; would be extinct.
When you cut a road, you eliminate everything but that road. Then that road leads to 300 acres, and those 300 acres and that road become a small town with infrastructure, sewers, electricity, gases — you name it — and it’s no longer the Wolf Creek Pass like we know it. It becomes Wolf Creek Village.
Gone forever in the name of development.
Why do we have to develop more? Aren’t there enough properties that are fully civilized? Enough properties for all of us, that we have to cut into nature, the pristine, perfect presence of God-given nature.
My dear friends and neighbors, can we rethink this? Can we be an example of the rest of Colorado, to maintain perfect beauty and its perfect place, offering its perfect peacefulness to all of us?
This is not necessary to develop… The Village at Wolf Creek is a moneymaking adventure.
We can make money elsewhere… doing other things… not chopping into our beloved trees….our beloved animal Kingdom… destroying the very things that we all cherish from the bottom of our hearts.
Perhaps this one time, in this one exquisite corner of Colorado, we stand together for something that we all love and we all want.
Perhaps we choose the greater good and live happily forever.
