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.
Northern Nevada has similar places with ranches/tiny communities built at base of mountain range where runoff emerges. Many well over 100 years old, too. See for example west side of 305 S. of Austin NV - beautiful. Not quite as green and no stone towers, yet.
There are stories there, I'm sure. Lovely spot.
ReplyDeleteI’m thinking, runoff.
ReplyDeleteLooks like they have that runoff channeled pretty well over 150 years or so. I'll have to go see how cold it gets before I pack up.
DeleteI'm thinking, they built near a water source.
ReplyDeleteYup, and it looks like run off is controlled.
