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.

Mount Shasta over the last few weeks
Great snow coverage
March 3rd just after a heavy snow. Look at it covering the trees!
Avalanche Gulch. That tiny dot in the center - a skier! Shows the enormous perspective.

That March 3rd snow, wet & heavy I'll bet...
ReplyDeleteSnow buried pines are deceptively dangerous. Get too close, and you tip into the well, usually head first.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI hope the water managers don't waste all of Shasta again this year.
