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.
You've never shown the most famous "bridge" in the Eastern US, the "Hanging Bridge" on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Slide rule tech, circa 1980. Lived in Blowing Rock, we'd drive the 30 minutes to it just to drive it, thrn do a short hike, then drive back
Thank You, CW. You bring a fresh and unique perspective to blog scrolling. (chuckle) "My favorite is the one with the dog". Including the ones you can't see the dog, but you know they are close by! Jerry
On that first one, I suppose I could do it...at 1/4 mph. But I would be concerned about running into a patch that was broken. I don't think I could back it upj.
Heck, who am I kidding. I couldn't WALK across that bridge. And all those others with people sitting in ridiculous places where all they'd have to do is have a spasm and it's "see you in the next life", well, they all make my stomach churn also.

ReplyDeleteWow, some of the best in recent memory. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnother great collection & some fine switchbacks!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, this collection was especially satisfying. Maybe my unease at TEOTWAWKI, Nov. 5th has something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the one with the dog.
ReplyDeleteThat dog perched on the spare tire is special.
DeleteGreat array. Wistful.
ReplyDeleteMy wife's family is coming into town for reunion this weekend. Your amazing pics have inspired me to take a loooonnnnggg drive.
ReplyDeleteKudos to the young lady with the classic Bronco for using a blanket before sitting on hood,avoids scratches from the studs on jeans!
ReplyDeleteAlso,do you have her contact information.....,asking for a friend.
Jimmy Boy: It's always nice to dream big. Just don't set your expectations too high. It's always seems to be a letdown. LOL!!!

Dog is God spelled backwards...
