No more quarries

This was my first visit to 9 Ladies and the heavy snow fall from the night before lay in a clean white blanket over the whole site.

It's a big place with tree houses and benders on both sites on the road that divides the site. At the very top of the site is the (small!) 9 Ladies stone circle.

The wooded area below the stone circle is threatened with being turned into a 100m deep hole in the ground.

Residents are keen for more people to come and visit, and stay, and bring provisions, see this post for more info:

People who are thinking of visiting to protest when the actual eviction has started should visit now to get the know the site - there are many large cliffs and it is very dangerous in the dark.

Thanks to the residents for showing me around :-)

lovely pictures, such a pile of shit that its going to be destroyed to build a shopping mall. On Sunday, we are taking stuff down. I think its maybe too late to stop it now. I hope and wish it isn't. but if enough people get there at least we can bite them hard. Or take stuff, or DO something.. what else do we need to give America? soldiers to die? our self respect? our fucking stone?
