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.
Friend had a cabin just south of Stroudsburg PA on 191. Right next to a roaring stream. You wouldn't believe how loud it was. Thinking to myself, "how the hell am I going to sleep here?" It was one of the best nights sleeping i ever had. Gone now, some asshole burned it down.
Speaking as someone who's grandfather built a cabin by a river in the northern woods of Maine in the 1940's - which was still standing in the late 1980's, the cabin pictured above was built in precisely the right place. Being on the inside of the curve means that it will only be undermined by that stream if it forms an oxbow lake that doesn't put the cabin on an island. This'll give them plenty of time to enjoy it.
Yep, bet that's fun in the spring snowmelt.

ReplyDeleteAt least be smart enough to build it on the high side of the creek.
