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.

Snow Report For Mt. Shasta and environs
Above, the northwest side of Grey Butte from 7900 feet.
One of my long term memories is winter camping with the Boy Scouts back in the 80s at Mammoth. A Scout broke a stick for the morning fire and an entire field of hoarfrost crystals just shattered in the early morning light. It was ethereal. EdC
So good it looks like the avalanches have cleared the trees a significant way down the gully. I had a post a while back that had pictures of the remains of an avalanche on Shasta. Good snow start to the year, for sure.

ReplyDeleteI spent my morning in my swamp watching the Wood ducks & swatting mosquitos. No snow in the forecast.
ReplyDeleteThat is heaven on earth. Thanks CW - Eddie Von White
ReplyDeleteThanks for the elevation. I'm always curious about that.
ReplyDeleteBoy, is that a perfect avalanche bowl and path on the face of Shastina, or what?
