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.
I am impressed by extreme sports just like anyone, and am no greenie tree-hugger, but.....is anyone else kind of disappointed with the casual ecological destruction here? These kinds of places are all over Utah which is very friendly to extreme sports, but the time required to naturally heal such areas is in the 100's of years. Clay deserts are super-fragile ecosystems. I was raised to pack-in pack-out leave only footprints, so maybe I'm just an old-school extremist.....but this leaves me at least as disappointed as seeing clear-cut old growth forest.
I've been there - it's just outside of Aintgonnafuckinghappenstan...
