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.

Mossbrae Falls, near Dunsmuir, Northern California today.
Did a little research to discover that it's not a creek, it's a 120' wide spring fed waterfall feeding into the Sacramento River. Beautiful.
Did you ever get curious about what the underground reservoirs look like that feed these fantastic springs year round? I sure have. We have one that has supplied water to our ranch house that has never slowed down or dried up during 168 years of Northern California droughts.
Was a resort on the Southern Pacific Railroad dating back to the late 1800s or early1900s. There was a pavilion where passengers could taste the mountain water. Was called Shasta Springs. There was a cable car to the top where there was a lodge and cabins. Real popular with summer tourists. The water was shipped on railroad cars.
I could stay there for awhile.
