I've tried several times this afternoon and evening to access the PayPal link and keep getting errors. I guess I'll have to try from a different PC tomorrow.

You mean ton of work we are doing. Shannon & myself are regular LAC attendees as representatives of the RRGCC. Climbers Dwight Bradburn and Chris Carr are also regular attendees. Steve Kaufmann and Jim Holzman have been attending on and off and are following the process. There are several more climbers who, while unable to attend meetings, are also following what is going on.
The PMRP purchase is a huge priority and challenge for RRG climbers but we need to continue to be mindful of the challenges of maintaining access on public land too.

I just did this to buy a Christmas present for my nature loving friends. They're very supportive of climbing and are psyched at this idea and the print they'll receive.
And when the present-buying season is over, I plan to put more in the pot. I want to see Dr. Bob out climbing more often!!!!

If you buy image #14012 (Natural Bridge) in the 12" x 18" size from:
http://lightontheland.com/nature_photography_6.html
I'll donate the total sale (less $12.00 for packaging, shipping, etc.) to the RRGCC fund.
That image, that size. I'll do it for the next 5 orders I get for it or until
Friday afternoon. Just reference your screen name on the Paypal invoice.
So, get with your climbing friends and make a donation. You get your Red River Gorge area print and your friends help out the Coalition.

Artsay's post over on the SCC BBS
http://www.seclimbers.org/modules.php?n ... 37&start=0 is continuing to generate interst and some interesting discussion
Also due to the post Brad McLeod has responded with a pledge of overall assistance to the RRGCC in regards to fundraising. We had spoken with Brad earlier this year about getting together when he was planning a road trip to the RRG but he had to cancel.

So I guess that means I should just send money to RRGCC instead of getting you a gift. Merry Christmas!:D

A little over $3,500 has been raised in one week for the PMRP purchase. That evens out to $500 a day. Thank you all!
Several people have inquired about the total amount owed and other details. Paul posted such a question over on the RRGCC site and an answer has been provided:
