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.
I live in rural Colorado, and I see hundreds (if not thousands) of RVs parked in peoples' yards and (mostly) in RV storage facilities. I am amazed how many people say, "Let's spend thousands of dollars on a tin box and maybe once a year go to the closest National Park for a far too long weekend of 'camping'." My question is, "Why bother?"
When I, the oldest child, was 8 years old, my father got a new Terry trailer and we all went camping out in the woods. When it was time to leave he said, "Stand back here and watch while I back-up." So, I stood there and watched, and when he ran into a tree, I called out, "Dad! You hit a tree!" I thought of that often while raising my children: try and make thing clear to the uneducated.

The grille and fender emblem indicate a 1965 model. That was the first year of Ford’s “Twin I Beam” independent front suspension design.
