Just a FYI, remember the red cross was down helping people who were protesting that trail . They were giving water, food, shelter, and medical treatment to those who showed up to "PROTEST" . I understand the right to protest. Great. But why is the "Red Cross" helping these people. Its like them helping us cause we showed up at ISPCON!
I know a number of people who donate Tens of Thousands per year, STOP because of this. Dennis M.
