Weekend Rambler

It was a pretty day so I went to visit some friends of mine, a wild herd of domestic goats living in gold country, real party animals this group.

Miles of piles, tailings from the dredging operations that took place here, one of the richest gold productions in the world, this is downstream from the famous Grass Valley/Nevada City mines and the destructive hydrolic mining being done in the area of the Malakoff Diggins . The TV show, "The Big Valley" depicted the region where I live.

The Yuba river and some interesting pine roots, the part coming out of the ground is as big as a man. The 'hills' in the background are those piles of rock dredged from the river looking for gold. I talked to a threesome doing just that and they had some positive ore to show me so I started poking around a bit.

I didn't find any gold but I did almost step on this buzz worm, a young northern pacific rattlesnake about 18 inches long, it is looking right into the camera, click picture for an enlarged view. A sign entering the park warns of them very plainly and about a half hour later, here you go.

It was sunning on the rock under the flowers on the right and is barely visble in the center at the base of the rock.

Meanwhile if you want to see what those snakes in the Swamp majority are doing with our tax dollars, visit The Green Eye Shade blog and the Republican Study Committee's for a stomach churning eye-opener of what the Democrats have in store for us. I swear the left wants to drive us over a financial cliff and they don't have clue nor care about the US. To them it is all about political power, dang if we don't need term limits more than ever. Add them both to you favorites list and blogroll if you are a blogger.

Many thanks to fellow Western Coalition blogger Pero at the Right is Right in his help in my link campaign. If you are a conservative blogger and want to crosslink, let me know, help spread the awareness. Welcome new readers from Freedom Eden, Trader Rick's and Magic Valley Mormon and many thanks for their help as well.

We all need to work together to get the conservative message out to as many folks as possible and to educate them on the dual attack on the US from the socialist left and the islamo-fascists from the far right, both in antithesis to freedom and liberty. They are rooting for each other's victory in the hopes it will bring themselves to power.
