Mount Eisenhower

Mount Eisenhower (4,757′) as seen from North Sugarloaf.

Named, obviously, for the 34th President of the United States. The following is from his farewell address to the nation in 1961:

"As we peer into society's future, we – you and I, and our government – must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow.
We cannot mortgage the material assets of our grandchildren without risking the loss also of their political and spiritual heritage.
We want democracy to survive for all generations to come, not to become the insolvent phantom of tomorrow."

I always did like Ike, even had a button that said “I Like Ike”. I like this photo too.

an image that speaks of a peaceful strength, and of the flow of time...alas Eisenhower's prescient words of caution have not been heeded, and a path now set to a further undermining of those principles..
