I wish it wasn't so far away. But it is a good cause for me still. I intend to make the trip one day and it may be too late by then.

Re: Across the Rubicon - Movie
Thank you so much! It is a great cause.
Since HUMMER/GM uses the Rubicon to test their vehicles, it makes sense that HUMMER owners would be able to help too.
HUMMER/GM has donated quite a bit of money and materials, gloves flashlights, rain poncho's etc., to assist the Rubicon Trail Foundation in their work weekends. They even donated 6 of their marketing people for a work weekend this last August, and a few thousand $ for the party afterwards.
We are so new as a brand to the land use issue scene, but there are so many areas in the country where public land is at the risk of being lost forever. Moab, Colorado, and Texas have all lost land recently.
Since we use it, we need to help protect it.
Thanks again for all those who have shown support!

Re: Across the Rubicon - Movie
Excellent cause, thanks to all for participating. The whole Country is paying attention to what happens to the 'Con, so it is imperative we all make sure it stays open, and set the example that will be used to keep trails all over the US from closing!
Thanks Bebe!!

Re: Across the Rubicon - Movie
BTT- is there anyone else who is interested???
Post up and donate.
Land use issues don't go away if we ignore them, the land goes away...
Help us save the Rubicon, lets show them that HUMMER owners care and want to be involved.

Re: Across the Rubicon - Movie
Here is what is happening on the 11th. A route designation meeting in Eldorado County, we could lose as much as 70,000 acres! Next Saturday.
Very sad.....

No matter what, roads and trails WILL BE CLOSED. It just matters how bad and how many. El Dorado National Forest has 3,172 miles of roads and OHV trails. Alternative D would cut that figure to 1,299 miles.

Re: Across the Rubicon - Movie
For all that donate, I will send a personally autographed* CO Hummer 8x10.
*note: In certain instances where demand volume exceeds capacity, CO Hummer may allow timgco to assist with a COH signature stamp.
