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.

Snowing nicely at Yosemite Valley just now.
And I momentarily lost power here, but it's back, for now.
California is howling about drought conditions, but NONE of the money apportioned for dams and reservoir expansion projects from last year as been used.
Uncle had a place for years behind Jones Mill in Soulsbyville, parents married in Tuolumne, Grandfather partly built a place on Elm in Sonora with scrap lumber salvaged from Pickerings. He also worked in a bunch of the old hard rock mines, like the Golden Rule out by Stent. He's buried at Mt. Shadow behind town. I used to cut firewood as a kid on weekends for extra money up on Duckwall Mountain. It's great country, even built up as it is. Lots of memories and adventures.
I've hunted Duckwall many a year. In fact, I knew the Lookout there. I heard a good bit of it burned a couple of years ago. If you went to Curtis Creek or SUHS we might of met.
Grass Valley is predicted to get 9 or 10 inches. That would be a pretty good snowfall for the Motherlode country.

ReplyDeleteYep, born, but not raised, in Sonora.
