And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteExcellent see 'um coming views.
ReplyDeleteI'm up by Mono lake every year, camping and trout fishing at Lee Vining creek. I always make a trip into the ghost town Bodie.
ReplyDeleteThe back road out of Bodie, down the canyon and ultimately over Lucky Boy Pass and to Hawthorne, is one of my favorite drives.
DeleteI go through there often when I drive between LA and Reno - and stopping is the best part of driving.
