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.
The Buena Vista ferry In Oregon is the same. Crosses the Willamette River.
Back in the day, only worries were if the other vehicle was a farm truck loaded down with corn or whatever. His parking was critical to how much the ferry tipped. During those rides we kept windows down and an eye on the life vest box knowing the cable had broken before. It floated off down river and landed on a gravel bar. Good times.
Love it! Great video. Take a ferry of this kind if you have the chance. This is one of those things to do when you are not in a hurry.
