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 believe this is at a precious metals mine in the Andes read about it online a few years ago. their mine was running out of good ore and so they sent out mining engineers to see if there was good ore close by. found a really good spot, but really inaccessible. got quotes to put a road up to the site, but horribly expensive. the local who was head of the dozer crews, said that if you can get a dozer up there, i will try to cut a road down. they dismantled a big dozer and coptered it up there and reassembled it. you see the results.
I had a '59 VW bus like that one (early 70s), it was an old delivery van. Had double doors on both sides and the mighty 36 hp engine! I think these Friday Open Road collections are always good, a VW just makes them better! A girl in the VW and we'd have perfection :-)
as with other similar Friday trips, #1 brings to mind Horst Jankowski's "A Walk In the Black Forest". Now to clear my mind's ear before distraction rules the day. Look forward to Good Travels every Friday.
Where is #2? That look like a great contender for the Tail of the Dragon.

I like the one with the dog.
ReplyDeleteIs that a twister or a crack in the mirror of #4?
