Eric Cox asked me to post these photos he took of River Dog about three weeks ago.

River was seriously my favorite dog ever (sorry other dog owners). He was perfectly behaved but affectionate if you wanted it. And he was so super active. He was the perfect crag dog. Man I will miss him.

Matt and Amy,

We are thinking of you two and River! (Brownie will miss him sleeping over) We will be coming out later this afternoon to see if we can help in anyway! We should get off around 3:30 or so. Everyone at Ecampus sends their Love and Support.

I think it is wonderful that so many in the climbing community, your family and friends have responded to offer help, equipment etc...

There are so many people that love the two of you for who you are as a person and what you have done for the community. The gifts that you have given people thru your kindness will now return to you 2 fold!

Mike & Kim

What do you all think?

I offer my condolences for your loss. It is tragic to see this happen, but it is phenominal to see the community come together the way it has.

My business partner and I would like to offer our licensed architectural assistance in the re-building efforts... pro-bono (we would only need our expenses re-imbursed).

You have alot to figure out over the next little while Matt and Amy... we would like to help in anyway we can.

I just wanted to send my condolences. Matt and Amy are a big part of what make the Red such a special place.
It's really great to see the community come together like this. And I'll definitely pitch in on the rebuild effort. Anything I can do to speed up the return of that world-famous french toast!
Hang in there Matt and Amy.
R.I.P. River.

Does anyone know if rebuilding is in the plans yet? Lets get something together, Im sure weve got enough talented climbers that know how to swing a hammer to help with whatever plans Matt and Amy may hold. Either way I'm sure we can all do something and get materials donated or donate to this project. Hit it up from Indy to Cbus to NC to WV. Weve all enjoyed too many mornings at RRO. Friends, lets organize.

Much love and condolences to Matt and Amy. River will be missed.
