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've hiked to a few 'fire towers' in the ADK's that looked similar, and lemme tells ya... I could TOTALLY see spending a week or two at a time up there. Just gimme some grub, a bottle to glug, and a big fat baggie and some papers!
A few of us were out riding our Harley's on the back roads of Florida one day. We came across an abandoned state fire watch tower. So naturally we decided to climb it. Once up there in the cabin we started passing around a "left hand cigarette" and what did we see? A very large number of little holes every where on all the walls. It did not take long before we realized what the holes were caused by and decided to make a very speedy climb down....
Darn if that photo does not look very much like the BOQ I slept in at the Panama Canal Zone barracks back in the early 70's.
ReplyDeleteThat blazing hot stove in awfully close to the bed.
ReplyDeleteWith all the Windows in a Mountaintop Cabin, the Stove needs to be close to the Bed unless you brought a -20 rated Sleeping Bag.
