The Americans Who Risked Everything
A happy Independence Day to all! Amid the celebration and hoopla, take 20 minutes or so for somber reflection and read exactly it cost those brave men who signed our Declaration of Independence. It isn't unfamiliar history (or at least shouldn't be), but it's worth the time it takes to read it. These men deserve our undying admiration, respect, and gratitude.John Adams

I refuse to believe that you haven't posted since July and that no one has commented since then either.
Were just a couple of hours away from sugarloaf. Haven't made it out there yet this year but would like to before winter is gone.
