    Darrel Wood, 2006/9/14: The walk up path to the 750' is coming along nicely. We still need volunteers to help with the digging. If you are able to help anytime let me know (951-487-0053). If you just can't find the time to help, can I suggest a donation (see how in above paragraph above) so we can hire someone in your place? A donation of $25 will hire a day worker for 3 hours. After the path is completed, the next project will be a shelter so we can get out of the hot sun during parawaiting. Hey it takes time and money to build a first class site. Lets not drag our feet and get the job done.
