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.

Shasta Snow
Sun Bowl, and a very craggy, snow blasted ridge in the distance
Stable snow lower elevations below Avalanche Gulch, at about 8100'
Small natural avalanche at Sun Bowl, near Green Butte.
Shasta is a bit over 14k tall. It milks the snow out of the air like nothing else around. I noticed last week that the Shasta Dam managers are beginning to let more water out and down river to make room for this snow when it melts.
Shasta is a wonderful resource for water, wildlife, recreation and just beautiful. It is shameful that the greens were successful in blocking smaller dams in the unusable sections of the watershed. Now, all these years later the price is being paid.
Still, thanks for the photos and Happy New Year. Dave
Wow- and I complain when we get about 3-4 inches…

You'll never catch me in a place like that.
