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.

Small Towns in Oregon: Juntura. Anybody ever been there?
“Been there” would be a strong term. Been through there several times. Handy spot to swap drivers on our way back and forth to training camp at Mt Bachelor, also through a couple times headed back and forth to bike rallies. Don’t blink, you’ll miss it (not sure if anybody’s ever around to enforce the momentarily lower speed limit).
Lived in Burns and Crane Or. for 47 years and spent lots time at ranches in "Jentura". Great elk and mule deer country, and the Oasis cafe has great cheese burgers!
I've used Juntura for a jumping off point going into the desert for over 50 years. My son drowned in the small hot spring near there. The area is loaded with great people, and, if you like to be alone, you have lots of options. I still get down there, but not nearly as often as I used to.
I never know whether the J is pronounced like a g or an h anymore. How's it pronounced in islam?
ReplyDeleteIf you're a red blooded American Patriot instilled with an over abundance of T and IQ the obvious answer is "J", of course.
DeleteThat you asked the question causes me to wonder....

DeleteWow, unexpected sad turn there. My heart goes out to you. It is a beautiful, special place.

DeleteHow can a person drown in 6" of water?......Without something a person shouldn't have been partaking in, such as driving?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you’re a Dick.
