[pct-l] First Mile

[Tamsin McMahon]

Did you guys see they met their $300,000 goal? I donated what I could, which wasn't much but at least it was something. Now I won't feel guilty walking through Oregon. (Hopefully I'll make it there!)

yeh no doubt...I lost my job in NOV and unemployment messed up my paper work so...I just did my taxes and I can donate some of it (not much to make a big difference) but yeh that or when I get a job and get paid...whichever comes first! I've  had two interviews this week...y'all keep ur fingers crossed for me so I can atleast have ONE beer on the trail...lol

Thanks for the reminder about The First Mile Deadline. Currently, it looks
like the PCTA has 1 1/2 days left and is sitting at $286,951 out of the
$300,000 needed to purchase the Keene Creek property easement. They are so
close to meeting the goal it would be terrible if it wasn't reached...

I don't have much money, but I figure if I can afford to hike the trail and
buy the necessary supplies, surely I can go without some extra luxury item
and make a donation to help protect one of the few places in this country a
person can to walk for more than a few hours without passing through a town
or a tract of clear-cut land.
