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.

Excellent escapism
Very much classic Sierra Nevada scenery. I laughed every time he got to his cache and had to fondle the food.
My God, I miss that. Will I ever get my old body up there again?

ReplyDeleteDo packers (mule style) take food caches up for various hikers and do they hide them or how is that managed? It would be a lot to haul for 20 days.
DeleteUsually there are predesignated spots where you can arrange to pick up a package.
