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.
There used to be a sign on the water side of the rail that said, “If you get in this water you will die.” A stick figure going over the falls accompanied the words. If you looked in the water, everything was covered with thick slimy algae.
I have hiked to those falls a number of times with my wife Ronda and also with various friends. Always a beautiful (and noisy) sight.
ReplyDeleteIs this a recent pic? Is there still that much snowmelt?
ReplyDeleteNot recent. That's full spring runoff.
