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.

May 8 and 9th on Mount Shasta
West face showing "The Triangle" with a recent avalanche. Casaval Ridge running top to right center, Avalanche Gulch behind it.
Skier at 10k feet in Avalanche Gulch, looking south down the gulch.
Looks like most of the mountain range in Colorado ... including Pikes Peak.
ReplyDeleteI enlarged the 1st pic to view before I read the text. I count numerous recent avalanches. I am curious about the hummicky patch at bottom center.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the crevices found on glaciers. I doubt it's that. Instead, I wonder if it's creep or perhaps aeolian created. Probably creep.
However, the features appear perpendicular to the slope. I now see the same topography elsewhere on the mountain. I'm now think it's aeolian.
DeleteIt looks like a nice day to be there. I think I'd rather avoid skiing in a place with avalanche in it's name.
That's going to make a lot of melt water
ReplyDelete... to wash out to the Pacific ...
DeleteAre the reservoirs still "a quart low"?
