July 23--Lola Montez
Fourteen of us. Quite a good turnout and quite an adventure. It's the end of July and snow covers most of the last quarter-mile of the trail. But the adventure began with crossing Castle Creek at the start of the hike. No rocks or logs are exposed to use so we had to go barefoot throught he water. It is cold but the real problem is the rocky bottom. I think my feet are going to be sore for awhile. Ten of us stopped at the lower lake but four went up to the upper lake. That's something to try another time when and if the snow melts completely. I did go swimming though. I'll see if some other photos show up besides mine.
The smoking ruin that is the the Obama White House, and the rotting corpse that is the Democratic Party, have, incredibly, together been boxed into a corner by, of all things, the certifiably insane Republican Party.

The American ruling elite is engaged in the greatest robbery of working people in US history. In the bank bailout of 2008-2009, the financial aristocracy effectively transferred to the federal government its bad debts and losses from a decade of reckless speculation. Now the working class is being compelled to pay the price for Wall Street's looting of the Treasury through the destruction of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and other social programs in education, the environment, transportation and housing.

With the political crisis that suddenly erupted over criminality at News International in Britain, deeper conflicts within the ruling elite are coming to the surface.
