Thank you very much to everyone who has donated so far; we are almost at $5000.
It is heartwarming to see people step up in the time of need, especially in difficult times as these.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

So sorry to hear this.

We went through the Oakland Hills fire 30 years ago. My toolbox looked like yours. The tools were Craftsman and they (Sears at the time) replaced them all, no questions asked.

Alot are Craftsman but sounds like they aren't so good about that anymore!

Thank you and everyone so much, it has help immensely! This is one of the toughest events I have had to deal with in my life, never really knew how much emotions can just drain you completely, the physical work I can handle the emotional not so much!
Thanks again to everyone!

Hi Mav,
I realized you passed this amazing benchmark while I was out wondering were all the smoke was coming from in southeastern Yosemite. Fabulous job and what a fantastic response from the HST gang! Cameron

Kristine/Gazelle,


I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what it is like to deal with a disaster like this. I don't have much disposable cash but lunch/dinner is on the house on us, your new neighbors down the 395 @ Coachwhip Cafe. Love to meet and say hi. Stop by! I'll send you a pm as well. Hope you are doing well.
