We are doing the right thing for sho. I sure do like BLUE I'll just cash it out before my next trip out and hand it to them in cash. Checks are a pain. Maybe we could all meet up to present it to them as a group to show them who the heck we are. Quote
dunefreak Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 That will probably be my next trip...so perfect! Quote

Great idea buddy..I am sure they would be there in there next lifetime waiting for the goverment to take care of them . Even though the Gov is doing a great job helping them you still need the little things to stay out in the D the whole season. Pete even get a checklist from them and maybe we can round up some supplies for them and instead of us going over there at once we can swing buy and bring it to them since we are all out there at different times of the year. The more usefull supplies the better for them... Quote
noro1973 Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 also dont be afraid to leve them leftover food, gas, ect. Quote
SandBlasted Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 We built the Rescue Rhino for them, we did about 4,000.00 in mods which we donated. I wonder why Don has not called me asking for tires if he needed them? I'll see what he needs Halloween Quote
CaptNkllm Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Donation sent Pete... Hope everyone donated maybe 1 hr pay towards this...its worth every penny. I havnt used the facilities much but I have bought some bolts from him and he is a real help in the middle of the desert Capt Quote
rocket Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 also dont be afraid to leve them leftover food, gas, ect. Just saw Don and Ellen this morning. SANDAWG and I were out there for the week. Don got his fence up a few days ago and is looking for a road grader but all BLM will get him at this time is a HD Bobcat. SANDAWG is still there and camped next to Don for the Halloween weekend. They do appreciate any firewood you leave them. Quote
dunefreak Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Well good news and bad news. Good news: we have raised about 150 bucks so far! Bad news: It has been brought my attention that the camp hosts are technically BLM employees even though they are volunteers. This means they cannot accept donations due to some stupid political governmant reasons or laws. I'm gonna figure out how we can still make use of the funds to go towards them otherwise I will have to get everyone their cash back. Quote

You can keep my donation and put it towards the poker run if needed..... Quote
barneycar Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Pete as a goverment employee they can not take a gift larger than 10 dollars at a time. so if all the DDr people goat onr time and each one hand then 10 dollars each it is not a gift. Or if it is handed to them and told it was found than they have to psot it for 30 day and if not clamed than they can keep it. but if they are being paied by the BLM and are retired they might have to clam it on taxes as income. hop this helps sean Quote

Give it to me and I will just buy stuff and leave it on their doorstep. Astroglide, plastic sheeting, rolling papers, 15 gallons of gas and 4 D batteries. That should do it. Gets me and my girl through a weekend in the sand ! Quote
dunefreak Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Yeah we'll figure something out hopefully. It just bums me out that everytime we come together and are able to make a difference or a positive impact for our riding area, we hit a road block. Quote

What if it was given to them as a gift like a Birthday, Christmas, anniversary or a Happy Saterday. Who is to say they don't celebrate unusual days. Quote
1BADYFZ Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 How about they take and not anounce it to the world!! Not everyone needs to know and just talk to them face to face. Quote
lakecitydan Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Why can't you just sell parts(like tires or?) to some one(like a camp host)for maybe like $2 each. I don't think there is any laws about buying high and selling low. In fact I think its a government standard procdure Quote
Mr. Edgy Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Doesn't a Rhino have an odometer????????????????????? :black: Issue solved. Play the game the way the government wants you to! Declare the mileage and get reimbursed. Should pay for fuel and tires at the very least! Quote
