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.
Was on a similar trail on Rainier when I was in my mid 50s except it was covered with snow. I was quite anxious about my progress across. A family with a 11y/o old girl comes up behind me and the girl walks right across. I asked her if she was scared -- No was her answer and I'm wondering if I have clean underwear in my pack.
