We'll cover your loss Paul, anyone willing to help PM Jim.
I'm tossing in $20 even if it's against Paul's wishes. Who will join me?

Thanks Chris, and Jim for the PMs, but it's not necessary- if anyone would like to, a donation to FR4x4 to cover costs would be fine by me!
The donation bar has been activated. It's set to $90. Paul has kindly offered to kick the donations to the site. I'm of the thought that since folks have wished to send a donation I'll simply be the conduit to kick the donated funds to him. I'm not looking to go against your wishes Paul though we're a group and we're in it together. Unfortunately the skies opened and the schedule changed.

As Jim said we are a group and this was money spent for the group and not fair for one member to eat the costs for trying to organize a cool event to get people out. Thanks Paul.

Donations deactivated - goal was met - as typical for the group - in quick fashion...
Paul, I know you said to kick it to the site for a donation but I'd like to keep in line with the wishes of others. Please PM me an address to send a check. I know your concerns, though like Cliff said - you did it for the group. So, now the group is there for you. We're in this together, hand in hand.
Thank you for organizing the run and stepping up to the plate

that's awesome, thanks to all. since the original purpose was the meet & greet and a couple of people want to reschedule, why not put the $$ towards that. Next date that works the permit is paid for.

boy, not sure how I missed this till now, but this thread is a good example of why I like this group!
Hope we can re-scedule, seems like it'd be fun to get a bunch of folks together.
I was gonna pitch in some money, but you guys beat me to it. Haha. What a great group of folks, sure hope I can meet all of ya sometime.
I wasn't planning on being involved in this run, but would be happy to contribute if we can give it some "new legs". It's been crazy around here (obviously) but if there is a "reasonable" chance for do-overs, I might like to join. This group makes me proud! I just got back from a weekend in Grand Lake (where the weather was a NON-issue - but the evacuation efforts were...) Very interesting comments and reactions especially from people who don't live here in CO. and couldn't understand why they would not be permitted into RMNP. (SLAP! - WAKE UP)! Or better yet, "knock yourself out by being stupid". You won't get any help or any sympathy when you have been told to stay out... We cut our trip short and bailed out today instead of tomorrow because without the park being open, and the weather being ...eeerrrmmm.... It wasn't worth staying.
Pickle Party?
Hey, let's do this. Perhaps March 8th?
Cash is in hand... Let's do this thing!
If were trying this again I'm in. The trail head is 10 mins from my house.
`just need / want to find some good weather dates.
